Performance Metro Meir

As the title indicates, this video is a recording of a performance that Pacquée did together with Danny Devos in 1979. Standing on the lowest metro platform, Pacquée is on a small wooden square. With white duck tape she has made a bigger square around it, of which she keeps on enlarging the edges with new pieces of tape. Then she also starts covering the wooden square with tape, until only the spot where her feet are remains uncovered. She’s enclosed. A man ties up her hands. In a steady rhythm, a drop of water is falling on her head. Danny Devos, lying on the ground of the upper metro platform, is hitting his head on the floor, following the rhythm of the dripping water.
