Kill Me or Change 2012
On July 28th and 29th, 2012 artist Chin Chih Yang presented his interactive performance art piece, “Kill Me or Change”, at Queens Museum of Art, and on April 15th & 23rd 2016 at MoCA Taipei, Taiwan. Buried by 30,000 aluminum cans that will be dropped on the artist in a provocative and playful project that examines the effects of over-consumption in modern society.
Chin Chih Yang suspends 30,000 aluminum cans—the average number of cans one person throws away over a lifetime—contained in a mesh net suspended 60 feet above ground in a crane which hovers over the audience. As the finale to each performance, the contents of the net will be released onto Yang’s head, in a colorful and overwhelming display of aluminum waste. By showing, quite literally, the suffocating effects of one person’s personal polluting, Yang hopes this piece will serve as a call to action, and that audience members and the public at large will examine their habits of personal consumption.
