Where Are You?!
In the first week of September I was in Seoul. I performed twice during the KEAF (Korean Experimental Arts Festival, see http://kopas08.cafe24.com/keaf/2008/01_about/04.html ). One as described above ("Globalization of Dust") and the other in a basement theater space. This time the huge amount of state of the art cameras, videos and stills alike, inspired me to put an older idea into praxis. I asked an assistant to go around with a spotlight in the pitch dark space. His task was to catch me in the light. Mine was to avoid the spotlight. During the cat and mouse game I shouted "Willem, where are you?" in different languages, pointing out the great possibilities for publicity and fame. After some hilarious interactions with the audience I escaped unseen behind the curtain exclaiming: "Oh, There You Are!". (no pictures)
