MAN IN WINDOW
DIRECTED PERFORMANCE MUSEUM OF LONDON 2012.
On the terrace at the front of Museum of London is a display with a text entitled ‘Man in Window’.
It tells you that every day this week, at 2 pm, John Yeowell will stand at the window on the fifth floor in the huge glass-covered building opposite. He will stay there for ten minutes, looking down at you.
The text continues by telling you who John Yeowell is; his profession; his age; where in London he lives; his upbringing; that he and his partner have two children; what he’s doing in his spare time; his plans for the future and s. o.
The text is quite long and gives a good impression of John Yeowell’s current life and history. And – he knows ‘that you know’ – while standing on the fifth floor in the opposite building looking down at you. ‘Man in Window’ is part of a series of works which aims to direct attention to the so called anonymous personalities that surround us every day and which the majority of us are a part of. The first performance in the series took place at the Museum of London in May 2012.
