Topic Four: Landscape, Representation, Intervention and Body-as-Site Performance Art.
These are documentation from the performance I presented.
The title of my performance is "And if thy hand offend thee".
For this artwork I created a 6.5 feet tall, more or less cockroach leg made of paper mache and cardboard, painted with acrylic colors. I also used a gauze bandage to wrap part of my left arm, and red acrylic paint simulating blood. I walked from the parking lot to the park near the school, carrying the cockroach leg as if it were my cross (like Christ's cross), and, at the same time, an extension of myself. When I got to the park, I placed the cockroach leg in the garden, resembling some kind of tree, and knelt before it, after 10 seconds I stood and unwrapped my arm, that was the end of the performance.
