Market stall performance for Bow Festival, Roman Road, London E3, 31/07/05.

I make instant, removable 'tattoos' of and for my customers by engraving their portraits into acetate, filling the carved-out lines with charcoal dust and printing the results onto their Vaseline-primed skin. The transparent 'printing plates', overlaying each other and jointly projected via overhead projector to the stall's roof, merge into a single communal portrait of Bow[o]man.
