Description Performance of Leticia Santa Cruz, during XI International Art Festival Interakcje 2009 in Piotrków Trybunalski.

Now I am completly sure this photo won't get much attention on dA, because the thumbnail is totally not attractive - to the contrary of full view. However this photo is one of my most favourite photos I made this year.
Leticia's performace took about 10-15 minutes. Audience was entering to empty room with they eyes covered with blindfolds. Leticia was standing in the middle of the room on the treadmill. People were guided to the treadmill, and their hands were put on Leticia. After a couple of quiet seconds, treadmill started. Leticia walking on the treadmill were moving in a sexually suggestive way, together with people's hand on her body. Atmosphere of shamanic dance was empowered by treadmill's repetitive noise. It was very potent and impressive experience - I was the only person with uncovered eyes, I was the only spectator of this magic show. Here's my documentation.

What a unique show to be present at! It sounds like an incredible experience, glad someone was there to document it

the photo itself is pretty intense, looking at everyone blindfolded and centered around one person is pretty intense, as you described it, potent. Fabulous work

that's a good question. but i don't know the answer... i can guess, it was metaphore of taking part in something, doing something unintentionally, not willingly.
