Untitled

Sep 28, 1979
Field:

Performance

Location:

The Actors Workshop, Vancouver

Description:

In Untitled, Max Dean appears on an elevated rotatable platform positioned between two halves of a mirrored rectangular box suspended from the ceiling. The audience is seated in parallel rows facing each other, with Dean at the centre. 

As Dean shifts his body to turn the platform, he is gradually wrapped in red ropes. With enough tension, the mirrored structure is pulled towards Dean, trapping him inside. 

Presented as part of the Living Art Performance Festival.

Video documentation is available upon request.
