VIOLENT FUTURIST DINNER PARTY
collage dinner performance

date: 1998
Waterloo, Ontario
(Collaboration with students of the Waterloo School of Architecture)

The principles of collage as developed over the past century represent a means by which sensory data of diverse and numerous sources can be distilled into a graspable composition. A short detour in a thesis behind which a guiding factor was the overabundance of information and its effect on the sences, this performance sought to explore the line between a pure modernist spatial composition and a surrealist collage of steel, moving air, reassembled meat, the scent of a forest, automobile horns, etc. It posed the question: how much is too much?
