plague performance @ dax798-artspace / beijing
The artist is sitting on the floor beside a tv and a big flowerpot.
On the tv screen the mirror of the world, the artist, sings, reads, draws...
The artist starts cutting the text of the book and puts it together in long brillant stripes.
He
then sticks it together to very long tape representing the complete
text of "la peste". suddenly the text stripes, describing all the bad
in the world, start wrapping...first the tv, the finally the artist
himself, leaving a chaotic situation behind...crisis...
During the whole time a Chinese girl reads the original French text of Albert Camus "la peste" with a strong asian accent.
