3.桌上 On the Table

時間/Duration: 20min
藝術家/ Artist: 霜田誠二 Seiji Shimoda (日本/Japan)
桌子是人類的發明，動物是沒有桌子文化的。我們吃喝，書寫，談事情，都用到桌上。但這時，我們的身體是一分為二，上半身與下半身。下半身總是固定住下半身。這個作品的原初想法是：我要是把整個身體放在桌上，會怎麼樣呢？Table is human being invention. Only we have culture of table, no other animal. We can eat, we can write , we can discuss, we can drink on the table.But in that time, our body is always devided in half, upper and lower body. Our lower body fixes our upper body always when we use table.My first idea of this performance is: what will happen if I put whole body on the table.
