Performance}

^{_{The performance depicted a fictional working scene: the artist and his friends acted as employees from an art handling company called APC (Asian Personnel Company). In the scene, they were hired to fix screw/nail holes on the venue’s walls using masking tape, working clockwise starting from the left side of the room’s entrance.}}
^{_{Four people were involved in this task. The artist, who worked as a supervisor, wore a yellow company-branded color jumper. The other three were handlers dressed in black working suits. And, all of them wore APC working caps.
The supervisor monitored the handlers as they performed the company’s tasks. There was no verbal communication with the audience.}}
^{_{Two handlers covered all the nail holes on the venue’s walls, creating a wavy line that traced the marks of previous exhibition installations within the space. At the end of this line, a quotation by APC was attached to the wall with the remaining tape roll. The quotation included the company’s information, the client’s information, the tasks of the day, and the quote for materials and services. After the work was finished, the supervisor wrote a note in the comment chart: “Dalin didn’t answer the phone call. He was absent for the entire thing.”}}
