After the experience of the first performance presented in February 2011 during PIPAF in the Philippines, I wanted (to learn) to make performance.
Preparation is an essential part of the creative process, but I realised that there is no rehearsal. Like Yoda says: "Do or Do not, there is no try."
A performance artist cannot make art without the other, so I brought my intention to the art community during RITES, in June 2011.
Guided by the Cartesian motto, but weary of too much thinking, I turned it around and wore a t-shirt that stated: 'I perform, therefore I am.'
My action affirms my existence.
My standing in the corridor of The Substation states to the community that I am. I want to be acknowledged as an artist.
Members of the community can also become aware of their own existence through the action I am subtly inviting them to: writing anything onto the t-shirt.
That t-shirt is now part of my relics collection.
