And the snails were in\u0026nbsp;the colours of the Belgian flag with the golden crowns on top. In these years I had the\u0026nbsp;feeling I was living in a slow country where in my eyes little was happening and time was crawling like a snail. And of course the performance was also about the different\u0026nbsp;perception and experience of time. The seven hours represented the cycle of repetition\u0026nbsp;and through repetition purification.\u0026quot;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e(Celant, G.\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eJan Fabre.

In die jaren had ik het gevoel dat ik in een traag land leefde waar, in mijn ogen, heel weinig gebeurde en de tijd voorbij kroop als een slak. Natuurlijk ging de performance ook over de perceptie en ervaring van tijd.
