Shia LaBeouf has been turning heads since turning his back on Hollywood.
The Hollywood actor, famous for roles in Holes, Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, turned his back on Hollywood to pursue performance art in 2014. The actor famously debuted his first “performance” on the red carpet at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival.
His latest project is entitled “Touch My Soul”, and debuted today at the FACT Gallery in Liverpool. LaBeouf opened up a public phone line with his two artistic collaborators at 11am and has been answering calls from the public, asking them to “touch his soul”.
This is his first performance in the UK and is part of the Follow exhibition that will open to the public on friday in FACT. He works with Finnish artist Nastja Sade Ronkko and Briton Luke Turner under the name LaBeouf, Ronkko & Turner.
The trio will be taking calls from 11am to 6pm Thursday to Sunday and can be contacted on +44 (0)151 808 0771.
Fans of the actor turned performance artist can follow his new project on touchmysoul.net and can also visit a live stream of the phone process here. Fans have had limited success since the phone lines opened, and are prompted to support the campaign on Twitter using the hashtag #touchmysoul.
