Whats Your Reaction to the Show?

A rare chance to see Dick Jewell's record of audience reactions to Leigh Bowery's 1988 performances at the Anthony D'Offay Gallery. Bowery created a new two-hour long performance each day where visitors sat behind a two way mirror observing Bowery as he scrutinised his own appearance in a narcissistic and hypnotic performance of self absorption.
