Act: Rollover Praha Video

It was clear to me that something should be done in the downtown Prague Market Square, as a form of celebration of overall presence. I was influenced by John Heilpern's account of Peter Brook's journey through Africa not long before this day. This recording and action was not for anyone, it was not a performance. It was an immediate and unplanned experiment that only begins to come together, albeit still mysteriously, when all the other experiments are included.

I was very dizzy when I got up, and this became a struggle of acting from a maintained inner stillness confronting the bodily urge to fall over. It was also difficult passing the "spectator camera fans" I passed on my way off camera. I could definately not look them in the eyes because I could not look straight !

The digital kinetic typography is perhaps suggestive of the dizzy swaying.
