Why You Are Taking My Picture
(2018)

https://www.am-contemporary.com

The idea of my performance was to walk around the Golden Temple of the Great Buddha Stupa in Kathmandu in the opposite direction of the pilgrims' movement with a camera in my hand. The camera was to be pointed at my face or at those approaching. I split the crowd at speed - left and right. I went against the flow of people. During one of the laps, a man loudly expressed his indignation: "Why you are taking my picture?!".
I ran for 108 minutes.
