[EastpakEurope]

Bodies on lamp posts, bodies on benches, bodies on railings... looks like our SPAK game, doesn't it?? Visit our facebook! Look for EASTPAK!

[Gregasaki]

Nothing like preparing the subconscious for the sight of weirdly strewn bodies in urban spaces. Its so teletubby, postmortem really.

[littlesummergirl]

some of this positions are just... wow

for example 1:09 ... amazing!

[kastanette1]

[paradisebunny]

thanks. We will discuss this movie in Uni in the context of the public spaces debate in urban planning next week :)

[wdio1]

@paradisebunny which university? would be nice to hear or read more about your debate. willi

[paradisebunny]

Humboldt University Berlin - Geography Department. It's a lecture called: "public spaces - public cultures" and i am presenting a text on spatially located norms by martin klamt. He ran an experiment where he broke norms in public spaces by sitting in a deck chair in various locations and recorded the reactions of the public as to find out whether that behaviour was accepted. Your perfomance fits that context pretty well, since the breaking of the public norm occurs as well. But it has a ...

[paradisebunny]

completly different nature. that makes it so interesting, especially in the context of jane jacobs etc. you don't have some sort of theoretical text on the perfomance have you? i couldn't find something on the web the first time i tried. great work by the way! :)

[wdio1]

@paradisebunny new york city

[alyssum32]

ORGIES EVERYWHERE!!!! XD

jk. (sorta.) lol.

That takes some talent. lol. I'm honestly impressed. I mean really, some of it looks rather simple, but other parts (guy in the iron tree stand thing! how the hell..) just looks a little scary. I'm curious if anyone ever got stuck somewhere.

This is really intriguing. I love it.

[Pitkis85]

sucks hard well mostyl all this modern arty party nazi hardy sucks a lot... why do i even comment oh well

[norsende]

Congratulations for failing. Nice job lying in the bushes people.

[ratboy616]

who is the music by ?

[timloyoga]

Do the fatties have to go at the bottom?

Just wondering because they all seem to run to their 'canvas' and then bundle on top of each other. But the fatties are probably a bit slower and get their last. So they'd go on top presumably. Is there a pecking order? High BMI goes first? Just wondered cos I wouldn't want to be sat on by big heffa for several hours. I suppose they'd probably bring food though. OR you have a strict BMI limit. Genius!

Loving your work

[sendboij]

like human graffiti!!

[fromeveryangle]

08:24: Anyone notice the coordinator copping a feel off one of the performers?

[macguy14]

@fromeveryangle that was the choreographer cueing the performers that the piece was over....because they can't hear anything when their ears are pressed to the ground....

[dieseinR]

thats fuckin brilliant!!

first i see this and i love this "art" !!!!

[sorstyle]

WHAT THE FUCK

[timloyoga]

[elabethrocks]

Brilliant, love the whole concept of living sculpture...it really makes an impact. Where's this filmed?

[wdio1]

in philadelphia

willi dorner

[elabethrocks]

Thanks for the reply! Are you based in the States? Is it improvised or choreographed? I've done quite a bit of site specific work, but the simplicity of this just works so well ...genius! :-)

[wdio1]

no in vienna austria, i will do a trail in washington d.c. in october this year. no everything is set. it has to be. some moments are too complicated or too dangerous to be improvised. wd

[elabethrocks]

Are you coming to the uk at any point? I would love to see it live, thanks again for replying :-)

[Air0ne]

agree, i love how it plays with the phenomenology of the relationship of the body and space, especially a public space.

[thegreatestg]

amazing

[richardsimonjust]

Fantastic! Looking forward to London's

[siljasolo]
