Hidden Public | happening

This happening researches discomfort, fear and shame. Artist hypertrophies those so much that it becomes visible and obvious to everyone.

Artist offers to all participants the unthinkable – for a short period of time become publicly sincere. Or, if sincerity is too terrifying, at least to realise and feel this shame as an abnormal phenomenon.

An auditorium and a black and fully covered booth on a stage. The telephone inside the booth with the numbers of all spectators, saved on a quick dial from 1 to 30. Questions on the walls inside the booth (difficult, complex, uncomfortable and shameful, about god, time, sex, death), that need to be asked via phone.

Each viewer from the audience has to enter the booth, call one of the strangers in the auditorium, not knowing who will it be, and ask a question, without knowing whom she\he talks to. The audience hears and sees who answers the call and hears the answer.
