PEOPLE DIE OF EXPOSURE 2005 performance with a prepared camera In this performance I use a prepared camera which, when looked through, shows a text saying “people die of exposure”. I ask accidental passerby’s to take pictures of me using this very camera. I am wearing a T-shirt with another line of text saying “People desire exposure”. Only for the brief moment of looking through the camera these two texts come together and the experience remains without any evidence. This performance bears some notion of assisted suicide. When fulfilling my desire to be exposed the person holding a camera releases the shutter as if it were a trigger of a gun. “The photograph is always about the past”, as R.Barthes said. |
