Touch
Touch starts out with Sigman asking the audience to make three piles of objects: anything that emits light, anything that makes sound, and anything from the outside world. He then leads the audience to another room, completely darkened. In one minute intervals, Sigman utters the words "Touch me" starting in a whisper. When the audience has touched him, he scurries all about the room. With each utterance of "touch me," he gets louder and louder, escalating in a full yell, until he returns to the other room, to collect from the pile of objects.

Touch: Video Documentation
This video became corrupted when the artist's hard drive crashed. It was able to be mostly salvaged; the audio is completely intact, but the video has become frozen on a lit version of the performance's space.
