8 hours performance Untitled at Guangzhou Live 4, curator Jonas Stampe, Guangzhou, China
on Sunday 16 November 2013 10am to 6pm
In the square out side YouYou Contemporary Art Centre in Guangzhou is a 6 meters long wooden construction made by the artist. On one end is a pile of used house bricks which weigh the same weight as the artist. At the start he opens the can of black paint and takes his trousers off and puts them into the black paint, then he puts them on again and the paint can is taken away. He then slowly climbs up onto the wooden construction, opposite end from the bricks and picks up a single brick and holds it in the left hand and stands there for the whole duration of the 8 hours performance. On the end on the floor where the artist is, is five 10 liters buckets of water (the amount of water the artist's body weights). He uses his weight and his movements to move the wooden construction up and down. He does this for the whole 8 hours durational performance and from time to time he pours one of the five buckets of water over himself.
