The Negotiating Table: (Inspired By Mona Hatoum's Performance Piece,1983)

This room is stark and ominous.Yet it can still stir, some of us from, zero states of consciousness. Curious eyes scan for traces of existence. Curious minds seek to know more about conflict and not less.Unmoved spectres are ever watchful. O this room is dark, lit only by a light bulb over a table, on which the probing artist lies still/ motionless! Empty chairs surround the table. The artist's body is clearly bloodstained, covered with entrails. Her body is tightly wrapped in plastic. And surgical gauze seems to cling leech-like to her head and countenance. As the eerie soundtrack plays, in the blind, frenzied background, droning, deceitful voices can be heard. Each voice appears to merge with all the others, endlessly, in maddening loops, signifying nothingness.
