TWO STAGE TRANSFER DRAWING (sharing the present) 2009

after Dennis Oppenheim

Performed by Ludwig Kittinger and Fernando Mesquita


As A runs his finger along B’s back, B attempts to duplicate the movement on the wall. A’s activity stimulates a kinetic response from B sensory system. A is, therefore drawing through B. Sensory retardation make up the discrepancy between the two drawings, and could be seen as elements that are activated during this procedure. Because A and B are from different cultural backgrounds, B’s back (as surface) can be seen as a cultural portal for A ... in a sense, A makes a contact with a completely different aesthetics.
