Ten Years

Ten Years, started 2008

Ten Years consists of one year-long performances conducted every ten years. In its first iteration (2008-2009), I marked one line on my left hand for every person I encountered but ignored and one cross on my right hand for every person I interacted with. I calculated acknowledging 15,500 people out of the 87,950 I encountered, totaling a yearly average of 17%. Ten years later, I recorded every person I talked to and every person I touched, for a total touching 33% of the people I spoke with. The next performance will take place in 2028-2029.
