Self-Exposure

Video installation

2009

I made this installation for the annual show of Estonian Artists' Union in Tallinn Art Hall. The title of show was "Self Exposure". My self exposure was admitting that I have collected empty toilet paper rolls for 13 years. In addition to the installation I made a video, where I explain naked, why I am collecting toilet paper rolls. My self-exposure is twofold: I expose myself both physically- being naked and mentally- admitting that I collected toilet rolls in order to become famous.

I built this installation out of toilet paper rolls and rope. It contains over 1000 rolls and building took five hours. I also made a performance in opening. I covered a naked man with white body-paint. He walked around in the gallery for an hour, posing like a sculpture and relating to the artworks.
