SuZan
Collaboration with Sallyann Kluz
Performance and installation
1999

SuZan ("needle" in Farsi) is a reflection on the private movements of the workers hidden behind the scenes who support our daily activities and our public lives. The performances expanded over one month during which the performers would continuously, without any breaks, work for hours sewing 180 yards of red cloth. Each sewing machine was equipped with a contact microphone connected to speakers that resonated throughout The Andy Warhol Museum.
