Date: 10 – 11 September 2005
Venue: Granary Theatre

This performance was a reversal of Aktion 398, a previous piece that was performed serveral times, including at the National Review of Live Art in 2001.
Every hour, a group of only eight people were placed in a waiting room. Each of them was given a number. Once someone’s number was called, that participant entered an empty room. They removed their clothes and when ready, they rang a bell to alert the assistant. Franko B entered the room fully clothed. Participants were required to be naked for this one-to-one encounter.
