João Onofre - 'Box sized Die'

João Onofre - 'Box sized Die'
(featuring DARKMOON, Basel 2008)
'Box Sized Die' is a 183cm black metal cube padded with acoustic foam. Referencing a minimalist sculpture by Tony Smith, Onofre gets a death metal band to perform inside it. First performed in Basel with DARKMOON in 2008 the work has no fixed duration, instead the band performs until they feel that the oxygen is running out and ends their set due to fear of asphyxiation.
