I danced continuously and sang to a 3-hour loop of the song “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive. At a rate of 3 times per song, or approximately every minute, the lyrics "Watch out here I come" occur. To align with this lyric occurrence, I empty out a vial of glitter into my hands and toss the glitter over my head. This action was repeated 180 times over the 3-hour performance. The blowback from the glitter bursts collected on my skin, turning my dancing, singing and screaming body into a purple-grey hued corpse. Indeed, as the performance progressed, I began to literally transform and began to look much more dead than alive.
