“The gallery was transformed into a film set, where everybody played a role. The gallerist played ‘himself’, under 500 Watts quartz spotlights. Wearing a waitress uniform, I took the role of the drink waitress, and became “invisible” to the audience. The undeclared waitress performance was related to the projection in the next room. The projected image (4mx5m) was a photograph of the waiter and waitress who served drinks at the opening of the Venice Biennial 1990, in front of the American Pavillion. They were both Afro-Americans, a reinforcement of a classical American film stereotype. The audience’s shadows mingled with the projection, thus extending the “scene” off the wall and into the room. The soundtrack consisted of unauthorized recordings of all the openings I had attended during the year in public and private spaces. Past and present, real and staged openings overlapped, the viewer got disorientated.”
