From the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides to Satre and Heiddiger,
Yves Klein to Marina Abramovic, the concept of The Void has
entertained, plagued and baffled humans for thousands of years.
WATERMELON is a gargantuan attempt to find new ways of
understanding what exists; to find new truths in a post-truth world. This
endurance performance will take you on a journey through four visually
and philosophically different worlds that explore and reflect our
experiences of The Void and the many ways it manifests aesthetically,
emotionally and politically in our lives IRL + URL.
