The Drowned World
2019
Installation - Performance, various materials
Bregenz, 2019
Borrowing the title from J. G. Ballard's apocalyptic novels from 1962, the performance "The Drowned Word" symbolically activates a drinking trough for cows connecting it to the ambiguous meaning of ‘well poisoning’, an age-old form of terror as well as a pretext to falsely blame foreigners and ethnic minorities.
The performance took place shortly after the European elections at the height of Matteo Salvini's racist campaign against immigrants.
A body floats in black putrid water–– black from hatred, indifference and contempt.
