CR 67. Year 1979
To leave a trace. To trace a path which existed, but no longer exists. The trace which disappears in a trace. To live. Not to live. To exist. To have existed. To remember.

Jochen Gerz and the students produce drawings in a darkened room. All performers use the same materials (photographic opaque, brushes, sheets of paper). The performance comes to an end when all available material is used up. The 463 completed drawings are exhibited as anonymous works. An edition of the same title is realized on the basis of the performance.
