performance in public space for 3 days


In the performance Pulling the Strings Together a grassland in Vienna, Austria near the Danube canal is reworked for three days by bundling up grass. By placing a technological worker in a seemingly natural environment, the work negotiates the nature culture dichotomy. The Danube canal was constructed in the 16th century opposing the notion of a natural environment and reminding us of gardening practices like the English landscape garden, which tried to reproduce a romanticised image of nature.
