Survival

Castle of Imagination, Slupsk, Poland

August 2004

The performance was lit throughout with a handheld torch. I removed objects from a case: mirror, 12 bulldog clips, pen, tube of ink, scissors, roll of lindt, face cloth, safety pins, protective suit. After removing my clothes, I used the mirror and torch to inspect different parts of my body in turn. I attached the clips to different parts of my body, drew round them with a pen, inked the marked parts and took prints on pieces of lindt. I then wore the protective suit and pinned the prints to the outside of it, replaced the objects in the bag and carried it out of the space.
