Based on the observation that most people have forgotten how to pursue a natural course, I installed my still-live at 7am in an old All, near the city center, even before the neighborhood had their blinds and curtains drawn.
Apart from the fact that the first neighbor immediately called the police after he pulled up the shutters, the people came, in the course of the day,curious to me down and discussed among themselves the image. Cyclists and pedestrians stopped and started talking, even with the old neighborhood from that street.
The situation changed abruptly after a radio journalist, had made a photo and informed his liseners. He promoted the picture and said: come and see. And they came and stopped, watched, discussed and at the end they said almost sectretly that they came because of the radio news. But the enrgy also with the neighbours changed. In the evening people started talking German to me, because another journalist wrote in the newspaper that there is a femail German artist in the town. It felt not very positive. Performance should not become a kind of a procession to the recipient. I stopped the performance at 5pm after 10 hours.
