In growing economies where we have organizing forms of money exchange and commodity the body seems to be regulated and systematised in order to better fit the production needs. In this case labour does not only refer to working time but also leisure time since both are subjected to the same symbolic order. As Susie Orbach argues the body turn progressively into an object to be produced and consumed. The struggle of the individual to cope with this dominant image of the 'right' working body can lead to the alienation and disappearance of it while the forced enjoyment can also become painful.

In this performance the distinction between pain and pleasure which according to Epicurus seems to guide people’ s life, stops to exist. In this performance the artist body disappear in its own labour.

Description: the artist unfolds a long white paper in the space and starts to paint it black. A sign on a table next to several bottles of milk and a bell, welcome the audience: please ring for a break. Every time the bell rings, the artist stop her work, sits next to the table and drink at once one litter of milk. When the bottle is over she returns to her painting. The buckets next to her are used every time she needs to release her stomach from the unbearable liquid.

When the work is done her body is not visible anymore. Has just disappeared in the black canvas..
