Take A Shower was a site-specific performance taking place in a bathroom at AAT Apartment Festival 2011, curated by Kappa Tseng.
This performance shows a reversed process of a shower routine. In a black suit, River Lin takes shower, douses himself in water, and applies soap while keeping the suit on.
