Tocetea is a word in the language of the P'urhépecha (an indigenous people from the Northwestern region of Mexico) which translates to “I Teach Myself”. In this video, Jimmie Durham drops a heavy stone three times until it finally teaches itself how to fall inside a bucket full of red, blue and yellow paint.
