Improvisation on libidinal economy. Caught between the art space, the public’s search for meaning and the online sex video-chat users, the performer’s body is in crisis: he divides himself into pieces and sells them online through a ‘Market’.
The art space public and the online public were confronted with each other, through the multimedia stream. Online sexual behaviour was displaced into an offline gallery setting, playing and stressing all its absurdity. The performer auctioned his body parts to the gallery public. The winner bidders had 1 minute total freedom to do whatever they wanted with the body part they acquired.
