Description

A video, in which the artist held a series of self-portraits onto his face purely through inhaling hard against the paper, leading him to hyperventilate, accompanied live by counter-tenor John Breheny, in full evening dress, taking individual images from the box of 100 self portrait etchings in front of him, and using them as a cue for a sung improvised response.
