Description: 

Outfitted in a motorbike rain suit, I arrive with a bag full of newspapers: Liberation, Le Monde...

I position myself facing the audience, and slowly, I pour the contents of the bag over my swimcap-covered head. I go into the audience and get 6 womens’ left shoes. I return to my initial position, I open the balled up newspapers, which fill the arms, legs, back, and stomach of my suit in force. I alternate the shoes, which further distort the overall shape of the body, of the growing silhouette. The suit now nearly overflowing, the newspapers are no longer able to fit inside. I put a “Sandow” (a tension device) around my ankles. I position the bag over my head, by closing it, two artists (the police) Marcel Bataillard and Olivier Garcin, come to kick me out fast, dragging me away.

End of the performance, shoes now returned to their owners.
