Albert van de Weide – Zuid Afrika

Description

The artist is standing in the middle of the performance space, his right hand covered with thick black paint. Visitors come into the room one by one. He welcomes each visitor by offering a handshake. Some refuse to shake his hand, some don’t. Every time someone shakes his hand, they are being photographed. After the layer of paint stays on the visitor’s hand, he covers his hand with the paint again, and the new visitior comes in.
