Inspired by the Buddhist “Dangerous
Pathway of the Bardo,” the
environment for this endurance
performance included six mirrors with
a stone hanging on steel cable in
front of it. I held the stone in front of
me until I physically couldn’t. The
stone then fell from my hands, swung
into the mirror, and shattered it. I then
removed an article of clothing and
went on to the next mirror – continuing
along the path of the Bardo.
