Baptism

P1, Baptism, Club Moral, Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp, 50’

I enter a room, take off my coat and wrap myself with a towel. In prayer position I am committed to an iron tub filled with cold water. I dip my hair in it, it is heavy. In one move I throw my hair back. The water hits the floor. During this repetitive action in the background you can hear three prayers together: a Christian, Jewish and Muslim prayer. When the tub is almost empty, Didier fills it with clear water.The performance stops when the sound of prayers fades. Once the tub is empty, I get up and dress myself.
