The dirty bag
The Dirty Bag is a performance activated and developed in the Visconti Street in Paris, a very narrow street. A group of people is invited to come inside the bag. Once they're inside, I start to give them orders from the outside. They have to walk along the street and to do so they have to coordinate their movements. I'm in control of the speed in which they walk and the moments in which they have to stop. My main goal is to prolong the feeling of being controlled/in control as much as possible. However, they just get to the middle of the street; asphyxiated and exhausted they get out of the bag. The action is over.
