Environmental Experiment

Environmental Experiment

description

This performance is about the relationship between humans and nature. While living on the earth, we enjoy the sun, water, and air. However, we expand our land, develop the environment simultaneously, to obtain and secure our material life. Sometimes, we don’t even recognize it. We behave without realizing the impact on our planet. In the performance, I invite audiences to the stage and do the task together. This interaction is a metaphor for our unaware behaviors to the environment. No matter if you understand what you are doing, it influences the environment and leaves marks. The three paintings that we made at the end represent our footprints. To say it clearly, “Do you know every single action we do creates (carbon) footprints and influences the world?” is the question that I want to give out. Indeed, I am one of the people who is the same, living on this planet and having a connection with nature. This is not about critiquing but the start of a discussion about our daily life. Are we able to think more compared to the past, and choose the decisions that are less harmful to the environment?
