Confronting Voyeurs with a body that returns the Gaze
Aktionshose : Genitalpanik 1969- Performed at a Cinema in Munich
Wearing crotchless pants and weilding a machine gun, wouldn't you be stoked if this creature stormed in to the middle of your porno?

Tapp und Taskino 1968
The curtain rises for your hands, welcoming your touch rather than your gaze. Private show people, 30seconds each and when times up I'll just start staring at you... A bit awkward, being a public place and boob groping is going on. Export just looks at her watch while the action takes place, waiting for it to be over. It makes me think of peoples stories of sex, tired of it and wanting the other person to hurry up... Breaking taboos, sexual acts in public places.
To me the box seems like a child's version of a cinema, children can create anything out of a box. It is quite informal, crafty in its use of materials.

drawings

The original idea with drawing with hair was to write something similar to what would be written with lipstick on a mirror, something 'sexy', something fetishized. The 'call me' text was a bit lame, maybe if i used multiple layers of hair and made it more elaborate it would look better but i decided to experiment more with drawing. I drew a self portrait on the wall of our shower, I used myself mainly to get the correct proportions but still didn't manage that, it's more of a rough sketch. I had to work quickly because the hair would dry out and start peeling off the wall after 10 minutes or so, especially in places of more concentration.
