Untitled (I)
Performance/Installation
Orpheus Building, School of Art and Design,
York Street, Belfast, N. Ireland
2009
Performance Duration - 1 hour
Hamilton blindfolded herself and walked around in a 2 x 2.5 m room that she had previously covered in thoughts using charcoal. Prior to and throughout the live performance viewers could only see the work through two holes that had been drilled in the wall.
The performance finished when Hamilton took the blindfold off and released a stopper in the ceiling, allowing salt to slowly fall into the center of the space - viewers were then allowed to enter.
The salt continued to flow until the exhibition ended two weeks later.
