(1 of 3) Cierra la Boca/Shut your Mouth: performance at the Congress

This performance is part of a series of three performances titled Cierra la Boca (Shut your Mouth), that I did in Madrid during the 26th, 28th and 29th of December 2013.
 
 



26/12/2013, 16:00 Congreso de los Diputados/Spanish Congress of Deputees, Madrid.

For 1 hour and 45 minutes I stand immobile in the same position, kneeling, wrists crossed behind my back, eyes shut, lips sealed. In reference to the Public Safety Act the government wants to put through by which fines for protesting in places of political significance such as the Congress increase to up to 600 000 euros, and photographing and filming police agents also constitutes a serious offence.

Durante 1 hora y 45 minutos permanezco inmovil en la misma posicion, arrodillada, los brazos atras cruzados los puños, ojos cerrados, boca firmemente sellada. En referencia a la Ley de Seguridad Ciudadana.
