Excused me, Sir!

Performed at the Confusius temple, during"Artrend-performance art meeting", Tainan, Taiwan, 2009
Excused me, Sir ! was actually the result of my journey in Taiwan during the Artrend project. During the journey, I rememner a text from Virginia Wolf: “As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.“ This was about the degnity of a woman, and the bounds of freedom.
I decided to make a mask out of metal nails.
I decided to use the space at the Confusius temple which has the text about how to behave as women.
I moved slowly and become like a dark spirit in a beautiful space.Duration: 3 hours
