The answer to yesterday’s Hump Day Head Scratcher:
“I went to the railway station followed by two photographers who, with Polaroid cameras, documented by journey moment by moment. They photographed me while I was getting my ticket, buying a newspaper, having my shoes shined, getting on the train, getting off and taking a taxi. Once at the Galleria 2000 I started putting up the pictures on the wall and I put my ticket in the box attached to the opposite wall especially for this purpose. The two photographers carried on taking pictures and the new ones were then added to the others. In this way, the exhibition was self-constructing, self-generating. Whoever came to see the exhibition was immediately incorporated, multiplied, recorded, caught in unrepeatable instants, and this destroyed the space of contemplation to open it up to action. At a certain point I took back my ticket and left.”
