Demolition

Demolition(拆)/Guangzhou Sabaki Space was performed in Guangzhou, China on Feb. 25, 2011. At about 8 pm, I stood on the small historical bridge at Sabaki Space and took off all clothes. A nurse used a surgery knife to carve out the Chinese word “Demolition”(拆) on my chest in eight strokes. No anesthesia was used. Once the word “Demolition”(拆) was carved, photos were taken together with assistants. I went into the room of Sabaki Space to attend to the wounds and dress. I then came out to thank the assistants and audience. Someone in the audience had no clue what was going on and had called the police. The police showed up at this moment to interrupt the performance.
