At the New Year’s Eve event of the “Crossover” International Performance Art Festival, Canadian performance artist John G. Boehme appeared very calmly. He wore a black face mask and stared at the audience (camera), like a still life object in front of the screen, then he began to swallow the mask. We saw the mask moving. He sucked and bit the black mask hard to make it smaller and smaller. He struggled hard and continued to bite. He had almost swallowed the entire mask and his face was deformed and distorted. The mask occupied his mouth and filled the breathing space. His face was flushed. He was still chewing fiercely. His face was swollen and discolored. This situation was suffocating. Gradually, the black mask was pulled to the point of becoming a black line on his mouth, but he couldn’t move it anymore. It was even more difficult. Just like he was caught by a wire in his throat, as if he had reached the critical point of life and death. Struggling to break through with forgiveness, and finally broke the connection that was holding the mask to his right ear. He continued to chase it, and finally swallowed the entire black mask in his mouth. He stared at the front, facing us like nothing happened and returned to peace.
