Throughout the first half of the eighties, Hatoum carried out a series of controversial performances brimming with political content. This piece was produced within this framework, in 1985 in Brixton, and shows Hatoum walking the streets with a pair of Dr Martens boots – traditionally associated with authoritarian violence – tied to her naked, vulnerable feet.
