Make-up
 
Make-up/Wake-up : Rialto-Santambrogio, Rome, 16 March 2005 - 17 March 2005.

Both these performances were part of a two-night event titled Moscio (Flaccid). The event was made in deliberate bad taste, as a critique of the then Italian President Silvio Berlusconi’s monopoly of the Italian media.

A man lies on a couch next to a flask of espresso and some cups. Above him a sign reads ‘Wake me up if you want a cup of coffee’.

I sit with my head sticking out of a hole in a table top. There is a lot of make up scattered on the tabletop around me and a small mirror in front of my face. Under the table I have a small keyboard on my lap. Above my head a sign (in crude Italian) reads ‘I don’t speak Italian, English, Yuoslavian, Iraq etc. please make up my face, after I will play music inspired by me new face’.
