TERMINAL | The Space Between Conference | Fremantle | 2004

THE IDEA
Ever wanted to know what transpires between an audience and a performer divided by glass and water? I submerged myself in a 12m x 2m x 1m Aqua Super tank filled with 17,000lts of brackish and heated to 16 degrees. I improvise five John Cage performance instructions including ‘Water Walk’ and ‘Water Music’. The audience viewed the work live tank-side and via broadcast to an internal screen system, and projection adjacent to the harbour waters.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Now I know why fish circle around and around thier bowls. I do not believe they have short memories. I think they remember the exhileration and tranquility of an expansive body of water and they try and block out thier grief and humiliation.
