I find myself at the moment in a white void, waiting for the next moment (2011) was an outstretched performance consisting of a number of smaller tribute interventions. The first version of the action took place for several hours in Högkvarteret, one of the few queer cultural spaces in Stockholm at the time.

She interacted with diverse fragments and material quotes from previous and future performances: a tennis racket for Gina Pane, a mirror for the bourgeoisie, a text following Chandra Talpade Mohanty.
