10. TIME OF ACTION

In a forest not far from the field’s edge a reel with seven kilometers of white rope was hung between two trees. The reel was hung in such a way that it could not be seen from the opposite side of field where in a distance of 200 meters through broken ground one end of the rope was drawn and where the audience (20 persons) and two participants of the actions were waiting (the third participant stood by the reel in the woods).

From 13:30 to 15:00 (an hour and a half) the participants and some of the audience in turns were hauling upon the rope. As its other end had not been attached to the reel, the rope was completely extracted in process.
