Performance 4: The Line 
Collaboration with Matt Irie 
2003 
Performance/video installation 
Repeated 41 times 

A covert performance (on Art Boat 2003), in which two actors playing a romantic couple have the same argument 41 times. Each time they perform the dialogue, one line is replaced with an alternate line. The alternate lines themselves form a dialogue in which the power dynamic between the man and woman is the reverse of the dynamic in the basic argument. (A video showing the use of alternate lines was being played on the boat.)
