Description

The performance takes place at de Appel at Brouwersgracht. Dan Graham is standing in front of the seated audience, a wall-sized mirror behind his back. He describes with accuracy all his actions, looks, turns and movements of his body.
Then he starts to describe the reaction of the audience, how people smile, laugh, shift positions, blink and how they respond when he addresses and describes them personally.
After that he turns to the mirror and describes himself again, balances on one foot, changes the position of his hands and watches the reaction of the audience reflected in the mirror.
In the end the audience applauses and leaves.
