"Duration: 72 continuous hours.

 

One living body, therefore a continuous movement.

 

As slow as possible.

 

Homo Economicus.

 

Contractual dealings.

 

Aspiration: Action of drawing breath in the present interregnum.

 

Condition: Waiting. A closing in on nothingness.

 

Essence: Refusal to treat the world as an object.

 

As far as that can happen it will be a performance in the non-performative.

 

By the Curator of Ordure R Y Sirb.

 

At Raven Row in London, February 2017.

 

What goes down comes up."
