Performance W139 by Sachi Miyachi

A performance as part of the procession organised by the W139 Amsterdam ‘Ontferm U’ during museumnight 2008. I was asked to be a performer in the work of Sachi Miyachi and because I did a course in sign language we could implement the gestures during the performance. http://www.sachimiyachi.com

“A procession has a beginning and an end. It needs some certain elements to make ‘fade in’ and ‘fade out’.

At the head of the procession I would like to clear the way with wishes for a success of the procession and our life in the city. It is a performance playing with a ceremonial manner, purifying the street with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper are a daily necessity on our table, often taken for a ceremonial situation. Pepper has been a main spice and a reason why the city of Amsterdam has grown as an international port in the past. 2 performers are working and throwing salt with a repeated gestures based on sign language to tell, ‘ death’, ‘big family’, ‘small family’, ‘gezellig’, ‘chatting’, ‘life” and throwing salt. 4 performers grind pepper with pepper mill with orderly resume.

At the end of procession, I would like to clean the street with an 11-metre-long mop that is rinsed out in the canal. This idea aims to clean up all kinds of dirtiness of the city, and same time, to carry them all to the goal, an exhibition space, W139. This quite heavy mop, carried by 10 people, could be seen as a representation of the Cross without religious context.” Sachi Miyachi
