Stuart BRISLEY

OPPOSITE
Moments of Decision and Indecision 1975






This piece took place in one room fro six days. Everyday the artist would cover himself in white and black paint, to a point that he could not see  or move, thus creating sensory deprivation. Trying to climb the wall would only compact the isolation, in the audience feelings of helplessness and frustration set in.
