Totem Today


This was a lovely Saturday afternoon. At around 1 PM I went to Jennifer's house to pick up my 'word totem': I got LOCAL MYTHS. With me, 9 other performers - a very diverse group of local inhabitants, children and curators - received their totems and then we started to walk, 3 minutes after each other, carrying the totem through the neighbourhood, over the market and passed the metro station. The destination was a area underneath the railway track: like the others, I carefully positioned my totem against a designated pillar. I turned around, to have a look at the overall result, and I must say it made a beautiful, poetic and somewhat mysterious picture.








We left the totems behind. I wonder how long they will stay there....
