Description

This letter was submitted to the archive by the artist himself. In it he describes the thought processes behind his 'Body Experiments', a series of artistic performances. His 'Body Experiments' are filled with existential questions and often involve nature. The artist is also known to play with intimacy, as shown in his "Kinds of Contact" series. This letter is written in a poetic, haunting style that supplements his cerebral performance acts. (Nicole Wang '26).
