Thursday the 28th of June I will work in my performance "Entree" during the conference at Institut Francais, begin 7pm, Kurfürstendamm 211. ("For about two hours I will draw a blue, white, red gafferstape drawing together with the visitors of the panel discussion at the Institut Francais. Starting at the sidewalk (Blue), entering the glass revolving doors (White), I will follow the visitors to the first floor all along the stairs (Red).The colors represent the colors of the French flagg. Each performer will enlarge the drawing in space. The final drawing is a psycholocigal mirror of the situation of the visitor of an specific architectural environment, this time the building of the French Institut. ")
