The police in London call him an extremist, the National Health Service describes him as »extremely psychologically confused« and has diagnosed him with a »borderline personality disorder.« He has been branded by the courts as »a genuine and present danger.« He himself prefers the term »mental.«
MENTAL is an autobiographical one-man performance that takes place in a bedroom for an intimate audience. The artist-activist the vacuum cleaner lived for more than ten years as an outlaw and patient. He gained access to all of the data the British government has collected on him with the aid of the Data Protection Act. Now he will report, based on the psychiatric files and police data, on his illness, suicide attempts, stigmatization, political actions, and the state's observation of him.
