About work

Repassage Gallery, Warsaw, 9. 5 1977

 

I made grooves in a tilted wooden board. Then I climbed up onto its top end and poured out acid into its upper groove in such a way that it would slowly work its way down but stop for a while at each groove it came across. Barefoot, with my legs tied together, I shifted away from it until I reached the end of the board where a small, glass plate had been positioned. The action was completed when I was able to untie the string around my feet, which stopped the acid taking effect.
