performance/video-documentation
color video with sound, PAL, 4 min. 16 sec.
2003

Made for a group show of Slovak art held in Vienna (Stadt in Sicht. Neue Kunst aus Bratislava, April-July 2003, Kuenstlerhaus Obergeschoss) the works evokes Valie Export's "Tap and Touch Cinema" (1968), which involved strapping on a box which enclosed her naked breasts.
The video is based on a live performance on Bratislava streets, in which the main actor is wearing a simple box buckled to his naked genitals and invites people to touch him in a similar way Valie Export did in Vienna.
