With a mixture of chalk and what looked like honey, the artist drew crosses in the corner, drank some of the honey and poured the rest of the mixture into a large purple and white orchid. Cerrato placed the orchid in the square and walked away. But luckily, the group's publicist, George Drummond, was on hand to distribute leaflets and answer questions. They can't answer questions while they work. Later in an interview, Cerrato explained that the group's work is often ambiguous, but he said it is important to show their performances in a public arena rather than in a reserved space like a gallery or theater.
People discover the message in the subtleties of the performance.
This public arena, however, targeted a specific audience whether it was intentional or not. Cerrato says he was attracted by the red wall as a background for their performance, but the Center also played an important part. And most of the people who are served, added Cerrato, are over age 50. There are some tourists, but most of the people are part of a community that gets ignored. Cerrato says he and his colleagues may be on the streets again interpreting other issues.
