Selekcja, PL-Gdañsk 2005

Duration 40 minutes

Description of action With a bowl of water I enter the room and clean with a wet cloth parts of the floor so that the word SELEKCJA (selection) is readable. I choose three persons out of the audience and order the others to go out of the room. The audience leave the room grudgingly, only the three persons and me stay. In this intime situation I wash the hands of each choosen person over the bowl with the dirty water and cream their hands with balsam. The unchoosen persons oberserve the action through small holes in the wall.
