Below is the final project that was made as part of my time during the EEA, (European Exchange Academy). The work involved a fake wall as can be seen below, built to hide a chamber without any light. There was actually another chamber behind this one which allowed me to go through and lie down above a body shaped hole in the ceiling. Before the Exhibition started the performance began whereby I would take all my clothes off and lie above the chamber naked and chest down. From my neck to my knees where touchable. The work encouraged the viewers curiosity to enter on there hands and knees to the chamber. Unable to see they would explore the chamber. Most reached to find the roof but on contact with a human body reaction where mixed. Screams and Embarrassment where common but also feeling of intimacy and humor and amazement with how the heat and feeling of a human body was heightened by the pitch black darkness of the chamber.
