« we decided to do the performance in the bar, we sat at the table and drank a beer. After a while we took out a pack of old pictures representing the two of us (brothers) in the family context, we did smaller packs and handed them to the people telling them that they can look and pass them to their neighboor. We then stood up and started to undress totally, we took out 2 bathes, a "savon de marseille, a toilet-glove, and a large bottle full of old coins. Christian started to wash me, first he soaped me all over the body without forgetting any parts - that took quite a while - he poured on my head and shoulders half of the coin-bottle, all the coins fell on the floor, he finally rinced me generously with water. I did the same to my brother... After washing, we hugged for a while trying to pour out tears. We dressed up with new clothes and fetched 8 bottles of Champagne. We served to everyone a glass as gift. »
Personal message to the persons who took our pictures :we just want to tell you that we don't have any duplicates or negativs of the pictures you took on 28th september 2007 (dilapidation of family products!) >>
«Half Swiss did a beautiful performance. They are brothers and got naked and washed each other. Afterwards they hugged each other for a long time and served champagne. It was sincere and moving. They managed to pull it off throughout the chaos of the evening.» Theo Di Ricco
