Platform Meetings (Rockwell: Aug. 4 – 8, 2003; 7:33 AM)
2003
performance with photo documentation
Detail (Monday)
A covert performance which introduces a surprising, scripted repetition into the pregiven repetition of the daily rush-hour train commute. On five consecutive mornings, at exactly the same time, two people — one on an inbound train, the other waiting on the platform, each holding a batch of five red balloons — meet, embrace, and depart the station together.
