About this work

This image shows a sheet of paper with black typewritten text. The words are centered and describe a performance: someone pouring water between empty and filled buckets in a circle until it all disappears. The text looks handwritten at the bottom, with "Tomas Schmit" and "1962" added in print. The piece isn’t a painting but a set of instructions for an art action. The artist used a typewriter with carbon paper, making the text look faint in places. Look up Tomas Schmit to see more of his work.
