Transient
TRANSIENT
a 24-hour performance by Hilla Steinert (63) and Alastair MacLennan (80)
24 hours. Once the earth revolves around itself. One day passes. A cycle within the cycle of life - symbol of eternal continuation.
The whole room is filled with plants, some of which have been collected and dried for 15 years, between which the two performers move and transform them. Afterwards, the remains of the plants are returned to the cycle of life.
During the whole time, the visitors were invited to pause, look, listen, smell and experience the process of transformation for a short, long or several times.
