Photography and text documents

  1. select a person from the passers-by who were by chance walking by and to follow the person until he or she disappeared into a private place where Acconci could not enter. The act of following could last a few minutes, or hours, and he would follow them wherever they went that he could gain access to. Acconci carried out this performance everyday for a month.

    Accompanying the piece is a written text, documenting in words his experiences, which was then sent out to a different member of the art community each time.
