thx!

by the way: we are wearing always the same suit. Its the size of Benjamin, but too big for me and too small for Nicolas. The exchange happens in a small, closed room in the gallery, where we are, hidden from the gallery audience, watching old fluxus videos.

It is still a great video! Have looked at it again after a few years.....

thx

why to repaint a zebra path? because of the challenge (little bit dangerous), together with the contemplative aspect (fluxus=>zen) and the absurdity: three improtand parameters of what fluxus could have been and could have ment.

After a request of a theater, we decided to not simply re-enact the scores of older Fluxus pieces, but re-enact the image (-vorming) and myth(-creating) aspects of that movement. that seemed to us more apprpriate.

Therefor we wear a balck suite and the video is in black and white. It was like this immediately after the action/perfromance integrated in the exhibition (pf paiks and other videos).
