The work

The untouchable felt.

1,000 Hours of Stillness

“Bring one thing you carry. Leave it in the room.”

It begins with a piece of paper. You write down one burden, something you carry, and you bring it.

Then we sit. Two chairs, an empty room, no words. I don't advise, I don't interpret and I don't step in. I witness, and the room does the rest.

You don't need to believe anything. Nothing is expected of you. You will be met, not fixed.

The piece is a long one, made across many cities. Every encounter is one person and one chair opposite.

Form
A long, durational encounter between two people, in silence.
You bring
One burden, written on paper.
I do
Sit opposite you and witness, without intervening.
Setting
An empty room and two chairs.
