This performance was truly an amazing experience.
Alexa and I met Annette Schulze-Lohof in Hallein, Austria during a Fluxus workshop with Geoffrey Hendricks. Her performance actions are absolutely poetic and simple. She recently sat in a local square in Germany with 30 newly hatched chicks, picking them up gently one at a time until they fell asleep in her warm hands. Then placed them down and repeated the mesmerising process with another.
There were many facets to this piece, Annette with her fish, Alexa with her wine, and me with the earth. We each went about our performance actions for a period of an hour, constructing this 20 metre table, upon which our various elements would cross, mix and through their interrelating, develop all new meanings and connotations.
