Nature (Meditation)

Duration: 4 hours

Braziers International Artists Workshop, Oxfordshire, England, 2003

Photographer: Mariana Viegas

Live Performance

During the two weeks of the workshop I was always surrounded by people. We stayed in an old castle in the middle of nowhere. So we spent most of the time together, always talking, always partying and so on. After some time I felt the need to spend some time by myself, enjoying the quietness of nature.

I wear a fresh blue dress and I sit still on a wooden bench. The romantic yellow autumn grass is around me. The atmosphere is very quiet, and I can hear only the wind’s voice. I try to think of nothing.
