Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 23)

- Tell us about Márcio Botner and Pedro Agilson at Posição 2004.
- That was another great one! As you went upstairs to enter the building and see the art show, you saw this naked female ass facing you. There was this naked woman on a short plain white round pedestal facing another pedestal with a computer monitor. The monitor, if I remember it well, showed a video loop of a camera doing a close-up of Botner, with the camera going around his head, so you could see him the same way you could face the model's face from various angles, for there was enough space between the pedestals for people to wander. She was a very brave lady, standing there naked in front of a huge crowd, staring mostly at her "twin" moving electronic image. I mean: some 3 thousand people passed through the entrance and saw her that night! Later, Botner draw a line around her feet, to sort of mark where she stood, and the pedestal was empty for the remaining days of the show. Now, I can't say I know what Botner and Agilson meant with this piece. But it was remarkable in its stark and simple arrangement. And I liked her brown hair and short haircut very much, and found her ass quite beautiful.
