Exhibition : "Emergency!#2", Fonderie Kugler, Geneva, 7-18 october 2014.
A collective or individual performance (inspired by the works of Martin Kippenberger, Martin, ab in die Ecke und schäm Dich (1989) and Santiago Sierra, Veterans of Irak and Afghanistan wars facing the wall (2011)): the public, the curators and the artist are invited to line up, one at one or all together, facing a wall, hands behind their back and repeat aloud, for half an hour: X (name of the person), Into the Corner, You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself. (With a video in which the artist Steve Giasson, like everyone else, is seen, facing the corner.)
