Instrument used to shape / medium:

Action: 
During the action there was a metronome clicking. I set the metronome at a very slow speed .
I stood on my kneeson the platform waiting for viewers / they were late 25 minutes. Next I walked down on my knees, took a piece of leather, got up on my toes and walked all over the space as long as I was able wrapping my hips .
In the end I felt down on my back and slowly went out of the spacechanging the metronome speed to very fast what irritated people.
