Bottle #66

The empowering bottle

The artist Elayne Harrington — known as Temper Mental Miss Elayneous — came on Thursday, we had a really interesting conversation.

She offered to host me one of the nights. She used to be homeless and she told me that is the thing she would have loved to be offered.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out because of pre-existing plans for the two nights left.

We talked for a while what could be the possible collaboration of two female artists.

She offered to come boxing with me. It is part of who she is, the urban culture and values she carries, it is for her an important feminine act.

I was super happy — although a bit worried — of her offer. I never boxed in my life, I was coming to the end of the performance, I was a bit tired and over-sensitive, I did not know if I could handle one more vulnerability, I was scared. I decided to say yes. I was asking participants to go over their fears to take part in The Lost Ones, I felt it was my turn to step into another one's unknown.

We made it happen this Saturday at 2pm…
