In each performance of Borrowed Splendour, three different people agree to play out a scenario. None of them knows what role they are to play, but they all agree to follow specific instructions: “Lift your eyebrows in a questioning manner. Look at mark 4 on the table, breathe in deeply. Think violent thoughts.” The work constructs a literary space in which action replaces text, thus combining facets of theatre, performance, and sculpture.
