Out of Now. The Lifeworks of Tehching Hsieh

For a whole year (1978–1979) I knocked on the door of my neighbor in Tribeca to have a little sugar for my coffee. But no one opened the door.

For another full year (1980–1981) I have taken every hour on the hour, twenty four hours a day, my pill for insomnia.

Another year (1981–1982) I went around the streets of New York to sing out of loud “Gimme Shelter”.

For eight months (1983–1984) I tried a rope to hang myself because my girlfriend left me.

And since then until today I did not do anything.

This is the reason why my life is not an artwork. And that of Tehching Hsieh is!
