Mona Hatoum: Roadworks 1985, performance in the streets of Brixton London / by Mark Edwards

The works of Mona Hatoum early performances, such as Roadworks 1985 and Changing Parts, 1984 where the artist is videoed for seven hours naked in a plastic cell of muddy clay which she is viewed trying to escape. I feel this sense of exposure to the world yet a heightened trepidation of being on public view. I am not it just feels like it. As i walk run my memory trail i am drawn to Hatoum’s performances.
