One Hour of Solitude 1998
Invitational performance.
In considering the value of time spent alone, volunteers are invited to spend one hour sitting in a bench built into the wall of a gallery. They are invited to choose a singular focus for the hour, something they enjoy, leaving their shoes below. No reading. The final tally totalled 47 hours of alone-time spent over a two-week period.
