Consent, San Francisco, CA, September, 2013
For Southern Exposure’s 39th Anniversary I constructed a performance/installation entitled “Consent”. First, I escorted people into the roped off area. Next I had them put on headphones and watch a video that explained how to get stuck in a prayer pew and then how to get unstuck from it. The video was executed in a similar style as the ASMR “whisper videos” that are popular on YouTube. Special thanks to Katherine O’Toole for shooting the photos and Josh Self for shooting the video. For more info about ASMR and “whisper videos” check out these links:

This is the video that people watched during the event:
