Wild winds sweep the giant Condor I balloon from its lines in the early stages of inflation, 1975.
“In the first century BC the Nazca Indians of Peru may already have flown in some type of hot hair balloon. This supposition is based upon designs on a pottery artefact in Lima, and upon the puzzling lines and piles of stones stretching across 200 square miles of the Plain of Nazca. The stones are meaningless - until seen from the air, when they form patterns of massive birds and directional markings. A primitive hot hair balloon, copying the pottery design and using only materials available to this pre-Inca civilisation, was built and flown succesfully in Nazca in 1975 by the International Explorers Society; Briton Julian Nott piloted Condor I to 300 feet.”
From “Nazca journey to the sun” by Jim Woodman, 1977.

12 Days (1975) // Stuart Brisley
“Public informal discussions
Private formal construction of structure
Actions in public with structure in various states of completion
Collaboration through discourse
An everyday thought with subjective implications: make your own prison.
(I built a box the size of the limits of my own body)
Final outcome: Breakout
As with some other works at this time the subject was initially conceived in terms of a vital simplicity. The process activated a greater complexity through interactions with audiences in the natural course of learning in time.
As with all durational works, time adds a greater element of generosity to how a work is given and received. The event was not exclusively something preconceived and then performed, although it was partly that, but more in the ways in which a commonplace democratic discourse actuated collective understanding.”
