1.8
The 1.8 performance prompts viewers to reflect on our daily oil consumption and its environmental impact. The performer, embodying a feathered sculpture carrying 1.8 litres of oil, transitions into a dance. This performance symbolizes humanity's struggle and failure to control environmental destruction. As the dancer moves across the floor, leaving marks on the paper underneath, this backdrop is subsequently transformed into action paintings, capturing the journey from grace to desperation, ending tragically.
