40 cm x 6 0 cmDestruction (1997) was performed as part of Cemeti Art House's Slot In The Box art exhibition. The exhibition was held in the designated 'quiet week' leading up to the general election, where no assemblies numbering more than 5 people were allowed, in a bid to quell demonstrations and other potentially disruptive political activities.
