The installation for this performance consisted of a house constructed in scaffolding, standing in a space full of discarded clothes. From one of the rafters a calf carcass hung next to a table and chair. For the duration of three days Fornieles didn’t eat, and spent the time dressing and undressing from the piles of clothes on the floor. The audience was invited to write notes of apology or thanks which she read, folded and stuffed into the hanging carcass using a small knife.

During the performance there were two cameramen, who acted as witnesses and documentary makers. Circling the space in quasi-military costumes, the cameramen alluded to the symbiotic, yet problematic relationship between the power of the image and society’s appetite for visual consumption.
