The audience is sometimes cruel and ruthless in their expectation and sometimes touching. When they come I look at them.

I’m standing in the hall. The audience comes together in front of me. I wait until everyone take their seats and silence allows for concentration to start. I set the alarm on my phone and put it back into my pocket. I look at the audience. The audience looks at me. We look at each other for another 45 minutes until the alarm rings. I inform the audience that 45 minutes just passed and I thank them.

In different situations I experienced different reactions of the audience:
– The audience tried to animate me.
– The audience remained silent and focused me for 45 minutes
– By decision of the curator the next artist tried to take my place after the scheduled 20 minute duration of my performance. I don’t give the space to him.
-Most of the audience went after 10 minutes. Only four women stayed. We looked at each other for another four hours. A couple of men were returning from time to time to look at the situation for a moment.
