FLOWER
ISCP, New York
A woman’s leg, clad in stockings and high heels, hangs from the entrance. Visitors enter the room while avoiding that leg, which stands as still as a sculpture. After a while, scraps of paper are thrown at the back of a visitor who had been admiring the interior. When that visitor turns around, they spot an Asian man above the entrance and realize that the hanging leg belongs to him.
“I remain there, immobile like a flower. Occasionally, I tear a page from a book, draw a map and write the date and time on it, crumple it up, and toss it toward the viewers. At times, the viewers take home this crumpled paper resembling flower buds. Flowers cause insects, wind, or water to carry their pollen. The format of an exhibition may be said to be such that an immobile flower, by enticing with its appearance and fragrance, uses the arriving audience as a medium for word-of-mouth and valuation, allowing the artwork to travel far across space and time and bear fruit. It is at the location indicated on the map written on the crumpled paper from FLOWER that Fruit was performed.”
