Black #02 is part of a series of performances using the colour black. The material for the Performance Art is a pair of Black Stocking and Red Shoes. The initial inspiration of the performance is a memory of Weschler's childhood:
"In 1975 I was 12 years old, I was still a child and not a teenager yet. It was the seventies, the era of the platform shoes and wide-legged, flared jeans. I wanted to wear stockings with my skirt and I asked my mum to buy me a pair. Fashion for children at that time was limited and it was difficult to find a pair that would suit a 12 year old’s skinny body, they were either too big for a child or too small for a woman. My beloved mum bought me the smallest pair she could find. I tried them on and they were too big for me that I could squeeze in all my body inside except for the head. When my mum asked how they were fitting me, I remember that I replied that they were great and I walked in front of her with my platform shoes, the torso and two arms inside the stocking
