Dear Archivist of the Future:
My participation in the Parasite performance of March 3rd 2007 will endure through the viewer’s perception. Actions of mine will be re-created in the spectators understanding of the work; the viewer will construct the documentation.
Dear Viewer/Participant:
Please examine the provided photos; foresee you’re self through the following steps.
Please follow numbered photographs with each exercise:
1.Approach dock
2.Walk down the ladder to your left.
3.Step down until feet are two steps above ocean level.
4.Stay in standing position for ten minutes.
The photographs indicate the space but have no visual references of a performance. Documentation of the performance is created through a viewer’s theoretical reenactment. Understanding is created through the viewer’s visualization; continually creating the confirmation of a performance.
On March 3rd the parasite performance gave me the idea of climbing down the latter to explore unconventional areas of the dock. This idea is the ephemeral material; it is explained through language but documented by the viewers knowledge. Once the viewer can imagine the piece the idea has carried on another existence, it has been documented.

Okay, I'm tired and there are spelling errors. I'll fix them.
This is just what the doctor ordered! You have done a good job of creating the potential for reenacting the event through futurity ---without documenting the past. Not an easy thing to do! So great job.
As you see from my last post, we have until saturday to finalize anything, so you have time to make any changes until then.
