Placenta Project

a film performance by Lee Bridgers/Musiek

February 6,1988
San Francisco Art Institute Conference Room

When the lights were turned out the film started as I removed the placenta from the cooler. Audience members gasped. The inevitable question was answered, "It's a placenta." It soon became very quiet. The whir of the projector, wows, and whispers.

In the upper right of the object you will see my fingers grasping the placenta.
