All this is shown very clearly in the video documenting the performance The Swing (After Fragonard). Dressed in white and sitting on a swing suspended from a highway flyover, Kukama swung leisurely back and forth, dropping banknotes onto the street below, where people quickly scrambled for them. Perhaps it was poetic justice that the swing broke and she fell to the same inferior level, painfully breaking her leg. (AK)
