In the middle of exploring the exhibit, and watching the video featuring the "Shrink" piece, an unassuming man-- who turned out to be the artist-- climbed into the, what I assumed to be display-only, vacuum sealable bag.
On video I thought Shrink was just unique and not much else, but in person I was speechless. I was in awe and couldn't even say a word to describe it, I just blank stared at this man slowly squirming, and re-positioning himself inside the same package that I seal sweaters in during the summer.
Parallel Universe artist Lawrence Malstaf performs the piece "Shrink" in the Wood Street Galleries Sept. 30.
