James Lee Byars

This documentary includes an interview with Byars during his stay in Antwerp in 1969 in which the artist reflects on the objectives of some of his performances and the means employed in them. It also includes recordings of various performances like "Two in a Hat", "75 in a Hat", and "The Pink Silk Airplane".

In 1972, James Lee Byers was invited by Harald Szeemann to participate in "documenta 5" in Kassel, where the performance "Calling German Names" marked a turning point in his career. Dressed in red silk, Byars called out a succession of common German names through a megaphone from the top of the Fridericianum. The performance was repeated that same year from the top of the clock tower in Berne.

Presented for the first time in 1974 outside the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Wearing a white suit, a black top hat, and a black blindfold, Byars wrote "I Love You" in the air with his right index finger. The invisible writing of the perfect love letter was performed while modifying the spatial position on several occasions.
