About this work

This is a handwritten list on yellowed paper, titled *"A Week"* in green ink. Seven days of odd instructions fill the page: wear one color, stay silent, stare at yourself in a mirror, sing the same tune, ride a train without a ticket, and wander the city alone. The writing is messy but clear, with some words underlined or in parentheses for extra emphasis. The date "1965" is scribbled in the corner. The rules feel like a mix of silly challenges and quiet experiments. It’s not art you’d hang on a wall—it’s more like a game or a test. If you like this kind of weird, rule-based art, look up Milan Knížák.
