In a large gallery space in the middle of the floor is a 4 meters long wooden burnt stick 50 mm x 50 mm broken into three pieces and taped together with black cotton tape. On the floor are 3 rolls of black cotton tape. By the side of one of the walls are 4 pieces of charcoal placed in a line. He walks into the space holding a 50cm piece of burnt wood in his right hand and holds it for the whole duration of the performance. He bends down and picks up the 4 meters piece of burnt wood holding it at different heights for some time and then at some point he drops it onto the floor. Then he walks up to the wall bends down and chews a piece of charcoal in his mouth mixing it with his saliva and makes a mark on the bottom of the wall. Then he walks around to the wood and picks it up again and repeats the same action for six hours. After six hours he walks around the long piece of wood and chews a piece of charcoal and makes a mark on the wall doing this until he finishes marking the length of the wall.
