HACERNOCHE, SON DE AQUI: Selin Davasse presents “Amnio-fuente”, 22 October, 06:00 PM
Part of Pickle Bar,
the performance Amnio-Fountain for Public
Space Gestationality draws from the masculine narratives around fountains
on city squares to wash over the traditions. Soaking into the fluid feminine,
the performance set the stage for a textual and participatory voyage through
possibilities of hydro feminism and knowledge production. During the
performance, floating texts are pulled out of the water to initiate a playful
interaction where consenting volunteers are made wet in various positions by
close contact with the artist’s tentacle-dress, while her poems in English
circulate through their bodies to later drip out of their lips having
transformed to Spanish. The Amnio-Fountain desires to drown the feelings of
disconnect and devastation welling up under the dry, water-soluble logic of the
Capitalocene.
