Performance (Duration: 4 hours)

Stage 1: While blindfolded, kiss and touch as much of the walls of the room as I am able.
Stage 2: After removing the blindfold, use charcoal and my hair to dust the entirety of the room for traces of my lip and finger prints.
Stage 3: Attempt to re-touch and re-kiss the exact same spaces
