Performance #1
"Performance #1" (2011) is a cinematic performance event by Wouter Huis.
Timelab, Gent, June 25, 2011
Performance #1 consists of a vacant garage box that for the duration of the event is turned into a cinema. The audience is invited to take a seat, facing the electric door which was at some point opened to reveal a view into a particularly uninteresting street. This street, and the very little amount of action in it (an occasional car or person passing by) was thereby transferred into both a screen and a new space. Likewise the people inside became participants in a strange and quiet performance.
