Four Scenes for the British Army, 1988
Performance

Location: Derry, United Kingdom. 23 May 1988

"In 1988 one was not allowed to take photo's in Derry (this was a British Army regulation). I wanted to include photos of Derry as part of my sculptural piece, so I made four small performances which were meant to distract the soldiers while photographer Rory Poland took photos".
