Some settings eerily corroborate the manifesto's subject, as in "Scientist," where pronouncements of early-20th-century Russian avant-gardists are broadcast in Big Brother overtones perfect for the sci-fi exteriors and interiors, right down to an intimidating horizontal black plinth hanging in midair like one of the Suprematist Kazimir Malevich's levitating forms.
One room contained a single plinth with only four works on it, and reading all the scattered wall texts necessitated walking all the way around, thus accentuating the startling physical contrast between, for example, the violent "Woman with her Throat Cut" (1932) and the distinctly non-rectilinear mound of "Cube" (1933–34).
The performance started with a slow procession by the two, while a video shot in the Congo was projected onto the plinth of a statue, wrapped in white fabric; at the end, video portraits of individuals from the Congo were projected onto the upper level of the courtyard in which the performance took place.
His anti-elitist tendencies have seen him engage with the British public on its own territory, with works that have included a vulnerable marble figure with a crown of thorns on the "fourth plinth" in London's Trafalgar Square ("Ecce Homo," 1999) and a series of 270 labyrinth paintings, one commissioned for every station on the London Underground ("Labyrinth," 2013).
