It happens at a table–it’s a work for a couple, and they’ve invited some friends over for dinner. The first course starts, and one of the partners stands up and leaves the table. Then, forty-five seconds later, the other person of the couple also leaves the table… The hosts stay away four or five minutes, and then they come back and they sit down at each other’s place. They eat the other’s food. So then, if the guests ask what’s up, they say, “This is a work by Tino Sehgal entitled ‘Those Thoughts.’” The work is actually the thoughts, and the prejudices, of the guests. And I’ve never seen it, but I’ve heard about it.
