The Pope.L "crawling" performances have a lot in common with Momoyo Torimitsu's robotic dummies of slithering businessmen (currently at Deitch Projects but turned off most of the time, according to artnet). Momoyo used to walk one of these guys around the city streets wearing a nurse's uniform, which was a nice macabre touch. I first saw her work around '96 or '97. When did Pope.L start crawling? Did he know Momoyo's work or vice versa? Has anyone else asked these questions?
