A performance for two draftsmen, two assistants, and one judge, based on the same set of rules as for “54 hour drawing”. The two opponents each made one drawing, working against space and time limits. The performance worked similar to a game of chess, where players alternate in making their moves (drawing one circle).
A kind of introverted intensity was created during the (almost) two hours duration of the performance. It was concluded when my opponent ran out of space, at the point when I had 3 minutes of time left, and he had 5.
The drawings and props remained as an installation throughout the exhibition.
Competetors: Torgeir Husevaag vs Timo Pitkämö
