A performance in a derelict building at 145 Bermondsey Street in London’s Bermondsey Street in 1994. The performance was unannounced, durational and ended with exhaustion. It was filmed in silence by the artist, on the decay of the factory floor, with stagnant water, moss and fungal slime. This work is one of a series where the artist used her hair to perform an act in a redolent location that leaves no trace.
