Basement Clown (1975)
Dressed in a green wig, clown mask, and small hat, the artist raises and lowers his hands, sways his unclothed body, and hums a simple melody. He performs in front of a wooden partition, with close-up shots of his face intercut with views of his full body or torso. Eventually, he makes a loud exit from the frame. This work is the precursor to Experimental Dancer.
