For The Cow I Didn't Get or Grüezi Giswil @ Herma Auguste Wittstock. 2008
- WITTSTOCK Herma Auguste, For The Cow I Didn’t Get or Grüezi Giswil, 2008, Giswil, Suisse.
30 minutes/liveperformance/Turbine Giswil, Giswil, CH.
Wearing only jeans, I stand in the middle of a huge hall. My hands are stretched upwards and hold a knife. Over my head huge black plastic bag hangs from a crane.
I swivel my hips, the jeans slide down to the floor and I am naked.
I poke the knife into the bag and tug and drag the wet grass out of the bag. A mound of grass is building up in front of me.
I sit on the grass and wipe off my menstruation blood with the grass. After this I wash myself with the same grass.
I eat grass, drink milk from a bag, clean myself with the grass, suck on my nipples and snuggle with the grass.
