YOU GUYS WERE PART OF NEXT WAVE FESTIVAL LAST MAY? CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE, AND THE WORK YOU EXHIBITED THERE? We performed, 24 Carrot Gold, as part of the Fresh Produce closing party, held in the Queen Victoria Markets down in North Melbourne. In the lead up to the festival we were thinking about dietary reductionism, and picturing fantasy societies that worshipped a single food group or item. That train of thought led us to create an ambassadorial delegation from the planet Kerotonia, beamed down from the far reaches of the universe to spread their intergalactic message of carrot appreciation to the Next Wave audience. On the night, dressed in our official ambassadorial ensembles, we pulped 100 kg of carrots and offered the elixir to attendees in an elaborate juicing ritual.
WHAT DOES PERFORMANCE MEAN TO YOU? Collective action in costume.
