 'Oh You Ghost' served as a literal escape. I wanted to be alone and silent. The performance took place outside of Zilkha Gallery on the campus of Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. More specifically, I located myself directly beside the windows of the gallery so that people inside would be able to view the project. I positioned my platform in the desired location, laid down, and asked two friends to staple a large white sheet over me (completely encasing the structure). It felt like living inside of a collapsed tent. I had been fasting for two days prior to the performance. I brought water, jars, and a pillow. I also brought a knife so that I could cut through the casing and end the performance. I did not plan the duration of 'Oh You Ghost' but realized after two days and two nights that the project had lapsed an effective course. |
