For the performance “15 Minute Human Rights Bed Stories” from the series "15 Minute Rest" Borjana Ventzislavova placed a typical bedroom setup into the space of the Gallery Bäckerstrasse4 in Vienna. Participants were invited to use the bed for a period of fifteen minutes to express their thoughts on core human rights documents -The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), The European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) and The Convention related to the Status of Refugees (CRSR) - or simply use the time to rest. Using what- ever form of expression the performance asked those participating to reflect upon and express their relationship to the documents, whether it be through gesture, speech, activity or even inactivity.
