Photo documentation of "Cold Mobile Art in 10 Pieces" performance, 2010 , Norman, Oklahoma



I hid in a white van at a winter night, with a microphone in my hand and read a poem from Rainer Maria Rilke in my mother tongue; Farsi. The van was parked under a light in a parking lot with half open doors. Two amplifiers were installed in the van and my voice could be heard in the street clearly, but no one could see me. The passengers and audiences were standing around the van. I finished the performance by the only word that was understandable for them: Thank you. I did not explain what I read in English before or after the performance.
