The Embrace

Embrace a building entirely feeling its warmth and its coldness, its inlets and outlets, its roughness and its unevenness.

It has to be a public and free-standing building: a church, a museum, a castle... and depending on its use the meaning of the performance changes.

As I embrace I mentally count the number of hugs and at the end, from a high point or from a window of the building, I shout the number of hugs I have needed to give to complete its perimeter: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR... doing it always in my own language.
