„… I asked her to look at me and after one moment - break - after one moment she did it, but her eyes were only slots, because of the sharp sun. I bent myself over her, so that they would be in the shade, and they opened. Break. Quietly: Let me in. … “

Description of action

Situation in the gallery
On a white base lies a small, wooden guitar and a saw wrapped in newspaper. On a eight meters long fishing rod is a fluorescent balloon filled with helium fixed. Four large loafs of bread lie next to each other on the ground. Two multicolored hats made from bast are standing beside the white base.

1)
Steffi Wurster (S.W.) dressed with a lemon-yellow dress and BBB Johannes Deimling (BBB) dressed with light blue pants and T-shirt enters the area. They kneel down to the bread hollow them out; take off their shoes and wear the breads as shoes. S.W takes the fishing rod and hold it out of the door, so that the balloon can rise outide of the gallery higher and higher. Very slowly let the cord out of the coil, so that the balloon rises continuously up. BBB takes the saw, rises to the base and begins to cut the guitar into two pieces. 

2)
S.W. and BBB take their bread shoes off and hold themselves with both hands the multicolored bast-hats, that are on the its tops open, infront of their faces. Both run hastily searching in all possible directions, looking through the bast-hats and continually calling „Hello? Hello? “. The communication stops when they meet one another coincidentally, look at themselves through the hats. The action stops.

3)
S.W. and BBB take their breadshoes and face eachother in a distance of approx. two meters. They put on two mirrored sun glasses. Two sharply yellow strings connects the two eyeglasses from glass to glass. In this position the performer freeze for about five minutes motionless.
