The Line
Live Biennale 22-28 September 2015 Vancouver - CA
The second of a series of three performances at LIVE.
The Line started with me inviting the audience with gestures to come closer in a half-circle.
Dressed in a smart light blue suit I took off the jacket, turned around and buttoned down the pants.
With charcoal I drew a stripe on my uncovered backside thereby extending the butt crack. Without undoing my shirt I drew the line further from my neck, over my head and over my nose, ending the line over the upper lip.
Then I took one end of a very long red thread from my mouth. Pulling the thread out I stepped on it till all was out.
By that time I was so close to the audience that I could shake hands with them. That's what I did.
