Bodyline is a performance that generates a drawing in the shape of a tattooed line on the artists’ body.
Collectors can buy a part of this line for a price, per millimeter.
The line grows together with the list of collectors, which is to be shown in exhibitions.
The line itself is never shown in public.
Only curators get to see the line, thereby becoming witnesses.
The line starts one hundred millimeters above the right ankle, and moves up vertically.
The line moves always straight.
Although direction-changes in degrees can be bought, they are limited to one for each buyer.
Collecting millimeters of line is unlimited.
Changes may appear in places they were not expected; thus, the line develops its own dynamics.
For more info see contact below.
At exhibitions bodyline consists of: List of collectors, Artist and Curator
