In other performances from the 1980s, Hatoum employed her own body, dragging herself through a park in Bracknell, Berkshire, in Them and Us... and Other Divisions (1984), and sequestering herself in the shantylike space she created for Matters of Gravity (1987), visible to the viewer only through a
small hole as she
struggled to interact with
everyday objects — a bed, a chair — stuck to the wall.
