                    on Sunday 24 February 2013 10am–6pm
                                           
                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                              
                  He starts the performance by standing on one side of a room with an English dictionary in his hand and starts ripping up each 
                    page into little squares (as he says deconstructioning it) after 3 hours he finally finishes the last page. Then he bends down and 
                    starts picking each square up and then he walks over to the other side of the room and places them on to a small platform about 
                    5 meters away from the pile. He repeats and repeats this for the rest of the 8 hours performance knowing he will not finish the              
                    reconstruction of the work in the time frame set.
