Mind fuck

​​ 2011

 This group performance was built by 10 people in a rather shortly but intensively. It consisted of a 3 m2 big wooden frame wrapped in translucent plastic sheets. Inside, the ten of us in skin-colour underwear only were moving to rhythmic sounds. This uncomfortable situation was aimed at creating a claustrophobic atmosphere and the audience could watch us because of a light inside the box. Additionally, a camera filmed us from above and showed our movements on a big screen. Reduced to our basic emotions and instincts, we were at the mercy of the audience watching us: next to our box were buckets with grey pulp, open to the audience to pour over us and symbolically decide over our destiny.
