White men making white smoke: more or less (performance video) - Part 2

"White men making white smoke: more or less (performance video) - Part 2" is the first part of a 30-minute video that explores the history of endurance in performance art. Through a process of digital collage, assemblage, and layering the video brings together and enmeshes iconic practices, events, and works in the histories of music, performance, and conceptual art that engage with endurance and duration as guiding principle. The video was initially presented on a television monitor during a performance entitled White men making white smoke: more of less at the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art in Toronto. Throughout the four-hour performance, Didier Morelli (performing in the space) continuously referred back to the video as source material to fuel his actions.
