Applaus performances were hold in an underground pingpong bar. Performances about how easy we give an applaus. The meaning of it totally dissapears. In the ping-pong bar I asked people to give a big applaus for me. And they did! I taped everything. I repeated this performance in Amsterdam. This performance is also about why we give. It is the reversal of the cakeperformances I did in 2003-2004.
The friends who helped me to realise this performance are the Dutch artist Janneke Raaphorst and the Berlin-Turkish artist Nino Serbest.
