Once we all arrived we sat and discussed for a while, then cleaned up the glass (no injuries despite not having any gloves). I think it was over our communal glass picking we discussed using hundreds and thousands in some way -ps anyone got an FAL card we can borrow?- which then led us to those jelly cups (which me and Claire had found at a party on Saturday and consumed) with the fruit in them that you get from Asian supermarkets- conveniently the mini mart over the road.
We got quite excited and went over to the mini mart and bought 2 giant tubs total of 178 jellies. We wanted to stick them to the window. We sat and divided out the colours- yellow (pineapple), green (apple), purple (grape) and pink (strawberry). We then tried sticking one to the window, the suction of the cup held a bit but basically it just ran straight down the window. Hmm we had to re assess, somehow I don't think me and Claire could consume 178 jellies. We decided on a performance, which will happen today (see update).
We had previously talked about wrapping Laura in string and seeing as we had the structure up and were thinking of taking it down we decided to do it as a performance. First she crawled head first into the structure, the space within the string, - 'hey it looks pretty good from in here!' Then we decide to wrap her. A lone traveller walks past and offers to film us, after a confusing 5 minutes of mis-communication and hesitation we agree, he runs off back to his hostel to get his camera we decide what's going to happen. Laura stands at the dense end, holding the black light. We start at her head and wrap the tangles of string around her face and neck, down her body as she twists towards the door. We get close to the outer points the string pulls tight. She sits on the floor, we turn off the spotlight. The black light is flicked on and off. Claire and I get scissors and cut through the centre of the structure until we reach Laura. We cut her out, scissors at her face and neck. The string falls away from her face and body. We thank our camera man, he's going to send us the footage when he gets bak to France, he is very sweet and says goodbye.
