K5 / 1999

Performance / stereo sound / 30′

 

The artist was lying prone on a sheet. He covered his ears with his hands. Two large loudspeakers set in front of his head sent forth a sharp, irritating sound, to the point of being unbearable. The audience entered the space and walked past him. The artist remained in the same position for half an hour. When the sound was suddenly interrupted, he got up and left.
