Overview

inside out is a site-specific performance conceived by Chopra for the Galleria Continua in San Gimignano. The performance lasted for 99 hours, beginning at 11 am on Wednesday, 25 April and ending at 2 pm on Sunday, 29 April. During this period, the artist assumed the guise of different personae to embody history and memory and walked around in the streets of the town and the surrounding area. In the course of the performance, Chopra produced a series of drawings of San Gimignano and of the Tuscan landscape. The drawings and their installation were executed both outside and inside the Arco dei Becci exhibition space, which was the artist’s abode for the duration of the performance. The installation, the result of four days of performance, remained on public display until 20 August 2012. The costumes for the performance were designed by Sabine Pfisterer.
