Abstract: A group performance happening at the artspace G 159 in Yelahanka, Bangalore initiated by Maya Minder, Megha Singha and Nihaal Daizal. The performance consisted of three parts, inside the gallery space, outside the public space and the walking duration in-between the two sites. On behalf of an exchange btw students from Srishti School of Art Design and Technology, and students from Zurich School of Art, the performance came to realization by a chain of circumstances and the encounter btw an artist/curator and curator/artist.
To develop an idea for the performance, the group used the tensioned situation of having no more than few hours to finalize and present their result, also testing the possibilities of a collaboration btw subjects from different gender, aesthetically, political and economic systems.
The result was a processual narration, a juxtaposition of actions and sites. The verbs „to eat“, „to climb“, „to scream“, „to draw“ and „to leave“ were chosen as an outline of a fractal story telling, translated into guestures inside the civilized architecture and the spoken word on top of a hundred year old tree. Climbing like apes and eating pealed tangerines, the work was questioning the gap between civilized humanism and archaic animism.
