Attempt at Deficit in 3 Acts, 2006
Public performance.
Dimensions vary.
Attempt at Deficit in 3 Acts is a public performance during which the artist attempts to reach deficit through the act of money exchange 3 times.
Strangers are approached asking for a quarter ($0.25) and as gratitude a dollar is offered in exchange. Therefore, the artist attempts to reach a state of deficit, precisely of $0.75, which repeated 3 times would amount to $2.25 total deficit. However, the performance ended in failure as the stranger refused to accept the artist’s $1 for their $0.25.
Thus, the artist concluded the performance with $0.75 profit, from $0.25 collected 3 times.
