In Forecast Of October 22 serves as an indexical trace of a performance undertaken by the artist in London. This work springs from the artist' desire to fuse together most notably a reference to Jacques Derrida's Mémoires d'Aveugle (memory of the blind people), a personal quest to experience blindness yet with his eyes open – which the artist has had for a number of years prior to its undertaking – as well as a desire to be the protagonist in performance that set out to make temporal disturbance to the everyday. The work was directed partly in collaboration with ABAKE, a graphic design team based in London, exemplifying the artist' fulfillment of works in close collaboration with others.
