Here are a few images from my performance on Saturday at No Soul For Sale at Tate Modern. I was working with Casa Tres Patios, an artist-run initiative from Medellin, Colombia. Last march, I spent a month as an Artist in Residence in Medellin teaching performance and movement techniques to students from the University of Antioquia. I also developed a piece called, "Amor Y Problemas" that was shown at Casa Tres Patios and later shown in New York at Exit Art as part of the Performance in Crisis Series during Performa 09.
For this durational piece, I sat still for four hours with a "crown" made out of a stove pipe and dyed red hot dogs balanced on my head. I cradled one raw blue-dyed chicken in my right lap and had another raw blue chicken perched atop my wooden staff.
These images were made by James Southworth, a videographer and musician living in London.
