Silver #2 (I Am Leaving Tomorrow)

2014, 20:00 minutes

I climb into the chamber through the window, wearing a pink dinosaur onesie and carrying a brown paper bag. I take a space blanket from the bag and wrap it around my head, so that it sticks out of the mouth of the dinosaur. I step down into the chamber, where I encounter an audience member who growls at me. We move about the space together. I take off the onesie and give it to them to wear. I take a pair of silver heels and a pair of silver oven mitts out from the bag and put them on. I lay the space blanket on the dirt floor of the chamber. I take a smaller, silver bag out from the paper bag. I take a silver can of hairspray from out of the silver bag. I spray my hair with the hairspray, then I spray my body with it. I roll across the space blanket and it sticks to my body. I lay the onesie on the floor and sit on it. I take a can of shaving cream from the silver bag and set it on the floor. I take off my left heel, put it in front of the can of shaving cream and step on the can of shaving cream with the right, filling the left shoe with shaving cream. I stand up and put the shoe back on. I take another can of shaving cream from the silver bag and set it on the floor. I take off my right heel, put it in front of the can of shaving cream and step on the can of shaving cream with the left, filling the right shoe with shaving cream. I collect my performance material, including the shaving cream that has spilled on the floor, and put it back into the paper bag, which I hand to the audience member. I take the onesie and drape it across my shoulders. I stand in the window and wave to the audience before climbing out.
