8 hours performance
8 - hour Standing Platform Gallery, Vaasa, Finland 2004
At the start of the performance I will pull a pair of trousers out from a can of 9L white emulsion paint and put them on, pour the rest of the 9L paint in the middle of a wooden platform then I will stand “motionless” on the platform for the eight hours. In this work, the eight hours focuses on the 8-hour working day, referencing both the work ethic and more mundane everyday chores. It was first performed in Rovaniemi hight street on 30.6.2004.
