A story about my fathers heart attack/Hanging up a family portrait with my mother (photos: Roy Taylor and Lev Ilizirov) Performance 7 minutes 2011 Realised with the support of the Rijksakademie voor Beeldende Kunsten
In this performance I start with telling a story about my father getting a heart attack. I tell the audience that I was not surprised nor shocked when it happened, because my father’s unhealthy lifestyle already announced a heart attack was going to happen.      In the second part of the performance I put this idea into practice, by letting three rather small accidents happen that I have literally announced to the audience. In an attempt to hang up a picture I fall off a ladder, a drill explodes in my hand before the picture finally falls to the floor.      A story about... is an attempt to create a structure where accidents and failures are not only inevitable, but intentional instead.
