Winning project OPEN /// CONTEMPORARY [URBAN] CREATION 2019 – presentation section

By Mushrooms tests the boundaries between the viewer and the viewed. It portrays a surreal image by inviting the public to wear a mushroom mask and listen to a soundscape. There’s neither a stage nor a rehearsal; this piece walks the audience back into everyday life and celebrates the performativity of being. No one realises themselves as a performance – unless they are seen with a mushroom head.
