I stand naked in the exhibition and ask the people passing by to give me one piece of their clothing so that I can dress myself. I ask, “Please give me something to wear”. I hold visual contact to strengthen my demand.

I’m standing unobtrusively in the exhibition. I take the hand of one visitor at random and don’t let him go. As long as I hold his hand I follow him. I don’t speak.

I am standing unobtrusively in the gallery space. I walk towards arriving visitors say: ”hello how are you” and put my nose under their armpit to smell them.
