Now You Go Up! Performance at the opening of "The End of the Dream", MicaMoca project berlin, e.V., 2011 A white cloth was pushed out of a second-floor window in a tenative way (white flag?). Then I came out of the window to the balcony, with a live pigion on my shoulder, wings spread sometimes. I proceeded to put a piece of white paper wing on each of the bird's wings. Then I proclaimed "Now you go up!" and started to climb the ladders with the bird on my back, sometimes airbourne as if to carry me up, while at the same time I was carrying it up. As I climbed, I drew the white cape longer and longer with me, traversing the height of the three-flights of ladders. At the top balcony, I pushed down the cape. Then I proclaimed, "NOW you go up!" at which point, the bird flew up while breaking away from the paper wings; and the fabric fell down and revealed the white fabric ladder.
