It was a new experience for The Washroom Collective: There were no confrontation. It was as if were on a stage. Exploring the whole club with different individual performances and then by combining them and intervening we created very psychodellic human installations. Achara walking lost around asking funny questions was starring the first time and she did really well. Christina and Eirini with their excentric and erotic outfits gave as usual an excellent and very provocative performance. Michael after having killed his wife was cleaning the floor and mourning. He is improving and getting better and better. Joanna as
usual started the performance
far too early not caring much
about the running order. Well,
that was actually very good.
Her intervention was very
important for the whole
process and added a lot to
the performance. The same
applies to Liselle dressed
in fifty's fashion.
Tricia, an agent, reminding
the audience of a scared
James Bond, was hiding
from Jay's tape and
passing on secret
information. Jacqueline
as usually was filming
the performance and
Akiko was taking lots
of photos. Last but not
least Jay: wearing yellow
household gloves and his usual suit was taping, measuring, and being taped by Achara, sticking questions on paper stored in money bags onto members of the audience and creating tape installations. The whole team worked brilliantly together and this website is very proud of The Washroom Collective!

Jay set up his Washroom Wall-installation which formed the background for one of Christina's individual performances. The wall installation consited of images and texts stored in zip lock bags attached to the wall.
