Contender to be one of the best anecdote ever said

— Samuel R. Delany, “Neither the First Word nor the Last on Deconstruction…”

Jean Genet, from Fragments of the Artwork

For the Venice Biennale in 1999 Cattelan produced a performance of a rare dramatic power. Numerous times during the three opening days, a fakir allowed himself to be completely buried beneath some sand. Only his hands remained visible, poking out, immobile and clasped. The fakir was merely replicating something that is a common practice for his native land, within a setting utterly different from its original context.
