Sean Ripple

Performed in 2007 at the closing party of the show Identity Theft at Else Madsen Gallery.

Two days before the performance, I recorded myself standing in front of the entrance to the gallery as if I was waiting for it to open. I talked on my cell phone, read a little from a book, sang a song, and ate an apple. For the night of the performance, I created a DVD of the recording and played it inside the gallery while I stood in front of the entrance to the gallery and performed the same actions from two days before. Though the actions were not fully synched, the illusion of being captured on a surveillance camera was sufficient.
