8 hours performance Untitled at Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes, organised by PAiN - Performance Art in Norrbotten at IKRA Dance and Performance Art Festival, Haparanda, Sweden on Wednesday 12 June 2013 10am–6pm
In an old school gymnasium there is a 6 m long wooden construction in the middle of the room. On one end is a pile of used house bricks which weigh the same weight as the artist. Also there are two small digital recorders taped to the bricks with the artist attempting to speak and ask questions in Finnish and Swedish throughout the whole performance. At the start of the performance he puts his trousers into a 9 liters can of black paint. Then he puts on the trousers and picks up a handful of white feathers. He sits on the other end of the wood and with very small and slow movements the wood starts to move up and down. He does this for the whole 8 hours.
