We Are Used To Cleaning

We, Performers, Work On Willpower. This Willpower Works In A Short Term, Not Durational.

From The Very Early Stage When I Started Doing Performance Art In The '70s, The General Attitude - Not Just Me, But Also My Colleagues - Was That There Should Not Be Any Documentation, That The Performance Itself Is Artwork And There Should Be No Documentation.

People Ask Me What Book Politicians Should Read. They Should Read The Life Of Mahatma Gandhi.

I Hate Repetition. Even When I Am Home And Have To Buy Milk, I Go A Different Way Each Time To Avoid Having A Habit Of Anything. Habits Are Really Bad. So To Me It Is Really Important To Live In What I Call The Spaces In-between. Bus Stations, Trains, Taxis Or Waiting Rooms In Airports Are The Best Places Because You Are Open To Destiny, You Are Open To Everything And Anything Can Happen.

The Experience I Learned Was That … If You Leave Decision To The Public, You Can Be Killed… I Felt Really Violated: They Cut My Clothes, Stuck Rose Thorns In My Stomach, One Person Aimed The Gun At My Head, And Another Took It Away. It Created An Aggressive Atmosphere. After Exactly 6 Hours, As Planned, I Stood Up And Started Walking Toward The Public. Everyone Ran Away, Escaping An Actual Confrontation.
