Burn Burn Burn
Burn Burn Burn - before / after Burn Burn Burn is the documentation of a performance with a special kind of paint; a flammable paint similar to the colored tip on the end of a matchstick. When applied, dried and lit, the flame slowly moves forward. It moves over the floor, table legs and chairs where it leaves behind a pitch-black trace, a picture frame burned into the wall and charcoal roses. This paint is invented in the kitchen and developed further with the help of a chemist. It has a substance like silk-screen paint and is dye-able in every colour. The paint will permanently mark wood and leave an impermanent black trace on stone surfaces. It can either burn or sparkle and the substance can be applied in different colors with a brush a syringe or a silkscreen. © Sarah van Gameren 2007
