UNTITLED PERFORMANCE

Performed with Anabel Vazquez

Before the performance opened to the audience I cast a plaster block around my legs. During the performance, which lasted for over an hour, I chiseled off the block freeing myself in the end. The second performer (Anabel) walked continuously in circles around me till the end. As I reduced the plaster mass Anabel kept pace with me. She would slow down or walk faster responding to the rapidity of my activity. If I sensed fatigue in her stride I would change my pace. Thus the two bodies were restrained in a pattern and responsible for each other’s release.
