"07.08.2011 Performance at the cattle market in Pona (Georgia/Kaukasus). During the performance I animate the people to make (or paint) their signature at the canvas. My aim is to make a kind of painting of the cattle market. Because I think that the picture of the place is the picture of the people, I collect the sign of the people which is their signature to make a picture of the place. With more and more signatures of the people from the market on the canvas is a painting developing, which is the painting of the cattle market in Pona." Sebastian Bieniek
