Performance in the Garage Space of the Glasgow School of Art

12 December 2005

duration: 3hrs 34mins

I wore a long skirt, whose diameter was 3 metres. I entered the room during the opening of the exhibition. I sat on the floor and two girls, who I asked, helped me to spread my skirt. One of them placed a chunk of terracotta clay next to me and on my skirt. I started making little people, little personae non gratae. I then choose a member of the audience and handed to the person the little creature I had just made. The audience member had to step on my skirt in order to reach my hand and take the creature. That was the rule of the game, to step on me – Persa non Grata
