English: Jill Scott balanced on the top step of two ladders and leaned against the warehouse wall, then two men took ten rolls of two-inch masking tape and stuck her body to the wall. Then the men took away the ladders and she stayed glued to the surface. She talked to the audience below on the street via a hidden microphone from inside her cocoon. Her speech was about the icon of the female body as an image-on-the-wall. At sunset she pushed and tore away from the wall and liberated herself. The outline of the masking tape stayed stuck there like the tracings of a broken cocoon, for many years afterwards. There is a videotape of the performance called "Stick Around"(15 Min.) German: Leaning against the outside wall of a warehouse, Jill Scott stood on the top rungs of two ladders. Two men stuck Jill Scott to the wall with ten rolls of 5 cm wide adhesive tape. They then removed the ladders and she remained stuck to the wall. Using a hidden microphone, she spoke for three hours from her cocoon to the spectators and passers-by on the street below. She spoke about the icon of the female body as a "picture on the wall". At sunset, she tore herself away from the wall and freed herself. The outlines of the adhesive tape remained on the wall for many years afterwards, like the traces of a broken cocoon. There is a videotape of the performance entitled "Stick Around" (15 min.)
