Youtube Video- The Paint Ball Project Day 20

"Day 20 Not feeling very good" says Bilal. He goes onto describe a pain in his chest which has grown bigger and feels "heavy". Expressing that it could be any number of things, he mentions remaining just in that space and never leaving, a lack of fresh air as possible causes for a difficulty breathing. He goes on to describe the morning as having a steady rate of fire with Switzerland contributing heavily, "bombing everything" he says.

He describes how the sheet of cardboard he had stuck on the wall the previous day to protect it required replacement. When he turns the camera onto it we see it is in tatters, with holes penetrating through it and into the wall beneath. he explains he will use new material to protect the wall.

As he proceeds he describes how he has changed the space by moving the computer into the middle of the space, eliminating the need for shield while working with it. The absence of shields now necessitates him walking low to avoid being hit.

A this point he smiles as Cathleen McGraff(CK) and Meghan Stirling(CK) enter the gallery, bringing him food. They brought him smoothies, tapioca and sushi. He says "Great, let's have lunch" having said he would post pone repairs as the two visitors entered the space. His expression, often rather drawn becomes extremely happy, with a broad grin. He says he will "update us later after lunch" and the segment ends.

When Bilal continues the days video blog his expression is again tense. He attaches some light plywood sheets to the wall. He decides to use a rolling plexiglass sheet to protect himself while doing the repairs. The damage is visibly worse than in previous days. He expresses sorrow that the tree has been damaged. He cuts the video briefly as he screws the panel to the wall.

He notes that at this point people seem to be either respecting the sheet and the repair process, or are holding their fire waiting for an opportunity to shoot him. When the final panel is in place an the shield is moved, firing commences immediately. Bilal records the growing number of splatters where the paint balls hit the newly installed cladding. He seems to chuckle as he says goodbye.
