In a selected site
I sit in front of my visitors with my mouth opened wide. The sound of saliva being sucked away can be heard. The sound fades, I close my mouth. I sew up my mouth, and keep sitting. I depart.
Ulay

I take Ulay’s place. I answer the visitors’ questions for him, until I make a mistake by answering for myself. I depart.
