Bodyline is a performance that generates a drawing in the shape of a tattooed line on the artists body.

Collectors can buy a part of this line for a price, per millimeter. The line grows together with the list of collectors, which is to be shown in exhibitions.

Collectors participation is archived on the list by name. There is no physical image, and also no final product. The price can increase with each season of the project, however, the artist can also reduce the price at any time.

A season refers to a certain time when acquisitions are collected before the next public staging of the work.

The line itself is never shown in public.

Only the curator gets to see the line, thereby becoming a witness.

The line starts one hundred millimeters above the right ankle, and moves vertically.

The line moves straight until there might be a insurmountable obstacle, at which point it turns around, to the right side and returns in a parallel direction.

Although direction changes in degrees can be bought, they are limited to one for each buyer.

There is no information regarding previous purchases during the running season.

Changes may appear in places they were not expected, thus, the line develops its own dynamics.
