Instrument used to shape / medium :
Graduation Committee judges, other viewers, me as a performer, me as a director of something which never came, me as a metronome, metronome, special platform - build using piece of plastic wall board I've found in the World Trade Centre ( a place of action ) and a mattress with sheet I've taken from home, a piece of leather, a ballet pointe shoe
Action :
During the action there was a metronome clicking. I set the metronome at a very slow speed .
I stood on my knees on the platform waiting for viewers / they were late 25 minutes. Next I walked down on my knees, took a piece of leather, got up on my toes and walked all over the space as long as I was able wrapping my hips .
In the end I felt down on my back and slowly went out in that position .
I changed the metronome speed to very fast .
