Annual participatory performance, video, drawings, screenprint
In collaboration with Bart Van Dijck
2018 - ongoing
SLAGTANDEN OP WARE GROOTTE (aka TUSKS 1:1) is a collaborative project by Bart Van Dijck and Wørld revolving around an annual participatory performance of a celebratory spring ritual on the spring equinox since 2018.
During this spring ritual the artists prepare and perform remedies against symptoms of winter, based on folklore medicine. Foot baths, herbal preparations and medicinal tea are served to the participants. They cut off each others’ winter clothes, with sickles crafted after the tusks of the boar, to get ready for spring, and imitate boar screams to awake nature.
The method of the spring ritual is developed with aim to create intimate contexts for a diverse audience to experience a meaningful gathering and transition from winter into spring together. Each year the ritual is performed on a different location and it is every time reconsidered for and influenced by the site.
