The initial start-up of the saws and their rotation lasted approximately two minutes until one of the cords was severed. Lique proceeded to repair the electrical chord for a second face-off, which lasted approximately three minutes. The viewer was left with the aftermath of a marred platform and disabled, personified forms. |
