Lisa Dwan's Not I

The new record breaking Not I performed quite brilliantly by Lisa Dwan who does the Mouth in little less than ten minutes. As we stare into the mouth projected from an issueless darkness, the lips take on a life of their own, standing for a thinking that's performed not just by the head but the whole body. To her great credit, Lisa invests the image of the mouth with a faceless face, thinking 'not thought' but 'profounds of mind', journeying towards 'mindlessness'
