Whats the meaning for a performance artist to travel to different countries and to work on site? My performative concepts normally take place at the end of my trips. As before I begin to start my artistical work,  I observe and listen to what surrounds me. To learn more about the country I travelled to. I try to understand what is happening around me, even if I just stay a few days or weeks. Beside my function as an artist, I am also a stranger, a tourist and a visitor. The performance „Please take me home“ is therefore on the beginning of my trip to Bulgaria: I request people to take me into their private apartments which also defines a new type and context of tourism.
