2 hours 30mins performance
 Untitled at Infr’Action Venice 2, Italy (Deframe) curator Jonas Stampe on Thursday 30 May 2013 3pm to 5.30pm

He walks up to a tree in the public park out side the Giardini area in Venice and tapes his left arm to the tree branch as high as he can reach, and then he drops a house brick on the ground and stands on it on his tiptoes for 2 hours and 30 minutes. After an hour somebody comes up to him asking: “What are you doing?” He replies “I want to try and get a bit higher.” Then they ask: “Are you an artist?".
