The Shell is a continual performance following the previous 2 performance videos Opening Up and To the body.
It was held 3 times at St James Hatcham (the Church) during Goldsmiths MFA Fine Art degree show.

At the beginning of the performance, the artist crawls out of a sculpture named Shell. She then folds the sculpture and pushes it up a mount covered in charcoal dusts. After several attempts to crush the Shell with the weight of her body, she pushes it away, letting it fall down. The artist repeats the action until the Shell is completely destroyed.
