Scenario for photograph no. 4
by Gareth Llŷr
This is the set up for a series of intimate performative gestures, listed on the Post-It notes that are stuck to the window frame. The gestures are listed as follows:
1) To make a list of all the diseases he's ever had.
2) To show you his tattoo.
3) To be happy.
4) To say I love you.
5) To put on his favourite shoes and start to dance.
6) To cry.
7) To show you what he has learned.
Each gesture will be performed between the performer, photographed here, and the audience members that have yet to arrive and who will sit on the empty purple chairs. Once the audience have been seated, the performer will vacate the room and enter the one that is adjacent, seen through the glass partition. In turn, each audience member will stand and select a gesture and show it to the performer. The performer shall then enact each individual gesture, unseen by the other audience members.
