Group 4

Again three performers deal with shadow and light but this time without a white sheet. a young woman gets "hungry" for some ball of light. Her satisfaction grows with more and more lights cast on the wall as she dances around. A harmonica howls quietly in the distance.
Group 3

Another three person, back lit sheet performance, but this time the sheet is set on panels. A female approaches the sheet and her siloute grows. Things turn violent as a man approaches and beats her with a cardboard tube. sounds fill the air coming from the far end of the room. The piece climaxes with a woman masturbating a false penis, followed by a man defecating.

!IN CLASS PERFORMERS!

GROUP 2

Consisting of three people and a sheet, a group of performers attempt to recreate the banality and ultimately excitement in weather. Each member approaches the back lit sheet from the light source and talks about the increase in wetness in the weather, beginning with 10% and ending in 100%. The climax also involved spraying water on the onlookers.

Here are three images from Santiago Sierra's 160 CM LINE TATTOOED ON 4 PEOPLE. The piece involves four prostitutes getting a line tattooed on their back for a hit of heroine.



This is a performance by Marc Gonzales from 1998, put to unrelated music. Unfortunately this is the only footage that can be found of this piece on the internet. Please ignore the music, and enjoy the performance.


This is a commercial made by Chris Burden in 1973. It was created to appease his desire to be on television. To Chris this was the easiest way to get onto television.
