Brent Harris
Version
18 December 2009

Harris performed a series of bodily and vocal tasks, exploring listing, repetition, interruption and hesitation, storage of a tripod bag, and his proximity/distance in relation to the audience. He attempted to gauge the feeling and timing of the performance without looking at the
audience.
