This work is a live-action video documenting. This project explores the concept of home and the shared spaces where we interact and play outside our homes. In the project 36 Actions, Wall to Wall, I perform a repetitive action of counting with my body while being recorded on video. This score is relatively straightforward in its structure: it involves a set of movement instructions that focus on counting with the body, and it’s meant to be carried out in a specific location. In this area, you used to live. I carry out the score alone, with a witness present to document the process.
I lie down on the ground in front of the house; beneath me is a mix of grass and soil. I’m lying on my stomach, and my feet touch the wall of the house. This is the beginning. I place my hands beside my head. My forehead rests on the grass, and I gaze into a micro-landscape. This action forms body number one. Then I shift my weight from a lying position onto my hands and arms. I pull myself forward and place my feet where my head just was. I lie down again—count body number two.
I use my own length to feel the distance between two buildings. I’ve lived here before, in the house behind me.
There’s space for 36 lengths—then my hands touch the far wall of the house.
36 actions from wall to wall.
Thirty-six bodies are to be placed in or outside the home.
