“The Image
of this morning for 30 minutes at 1pm”
2007, Performance, 45 minutes
I asked the audience to bring a book to
read during the performance. At the start
of the performance, I announced the title
of the piece, and asked them to read a book
quietly for 30 minutes. While people were
reading, I wrote a very detailed description
of my memories that morning: for example,
when I was awake what I saw first on the
ceiling, where the second hand pointed on
the clock , how loud
the clock was ticking, when I sat up how
I moved my arms and fingers, which leg I
dropped first from the bed and so on. After
30 minutes, I read what I wrote so far out
loud
to the audience, Then I set fire to the
paper I wrote on, and left the room, ending
the performance.
