puncture (C&B) 

I installed a three inch nail into the floor with glue. Patrick and I then tied each end of a rope to our hands and wrists. I then made three steps forward from the nail, aligning the centre of my spine with the nail. Patrick and I then leaned backwards and held each other's weight with the rope, and held this position for 6 minutes. 

This performance was for the LEGS Performance festival had at OCAD University.

Patrick and I sat at a table facing one another. I took a bite of the apple. Patrick proceeds to pry at my mouth and take out pieces of the apple. Patrick removes all remains of the apple from my mouth and sits back in the chair across from mine.
