NOVA sighting
street performance
"13th NIPAF 2006"; Shinjuku; Tokyo, Japan. 2006
I ride my bicycle, dinging my bell, into the crowded street in the bustling district of Shinjuku. Prior instructions had been given to a few friends to focus their full attention on a certain NOVA signboard (advertisement for an English language school) when they hear my bicycle bell, and to remain motionless until they again hear my bell. The result: a street full of curious passersby staring up into space with us for the duration of this work.
