Description

On the floor of the performence room there is a circle of tar and a ring of colour feathers around it; on a wall there is a spiral wire with red hearts attached to it.
Dressed in a white ballet costume the artist steps inside the ring into the circle of tar and starts covering herself with tar. Then she crawls in circles in feathers so that they stick to the tar on her body. Covered in feathers she comes to the spiral with hearts and breaks them one by one anticlockwise. The performance ends when the last heart is broken.
