THE CIRCLE
Public Performances, 30 min - 4 h, 2003

The Circle was a series of public performances held in Exeter, London, and Edinburgh (UK).

​

By repeatedly drawing and standing in a circle at different locations – the main shopping street, a public square, a bus station, Chinatown, a graveyard, or a park – the artist marked and defined the size of her personal space, challenging others to step in or stay away.

​

Sometimes she blended into the surroundings, and at other times she became the main attraction.

​

The piece explored themes such as (self-)alienation, isolation, integration, and public-private space. It was documented with photography.
