It's just me and you... Hehe.”

Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh, Art/Life: One Year Performance 1983-1984 (Rope Piece). For one year, the two artists remain tied together at the waist by an eight foot rope. They are not allowed to touch one another.

From a 1984 interview with Alex and Allyson Grey:

A&AG: Now that you’ve been tied together for almost a year, how do you feel about each other?

TH: I think Linda is the most honest person I’ve known in my life and I feel very comfortable to talk—to share my personality with her. That’s enough. I feel that’s pretty good. We had a lot of fights and I don’t feel that is negative. Anybody who was tied this way, even if they were a nice couple, I’m sure they would fight, too. This piece is about being like an animal, naked. We cannot hide our negative sides. We cannot be shy. It’s more than just honesty—we show our weakness.

LM: Tehching is my friend, confidant, lover, son, opponent, husband, brother, playmate, sparring partner, mother, father, etc. The list goes on and on. There isn’t one word or one archetype that fits. I feel very deeply for him.

lights. lights. lights. live.

Sejak hari itu aku menjadi terbiasa oleh cahaya.

Dengan kunang-kunang di jendela,

Pantulan televisi pukul dua pagi di ruang tamu,

Warna terang diujung hidungmu ketika kau ketuk layar ponselmu

Entah. Kupikir aku takkan pernah menemukan cahaya lagi.

Alih-alih tidur dengan keadaan gelap, aku menekan tombol lampu tidur di samping kasurku.
