WATERFALL
A wet body flowing along a stream of situations, paying attention to the persons that travel by water. Audioritual synthesis for engaging with water in daily life. Flowing with the waters of our lived experience — essential or luxurious, channeled or untethered. Intimate spaces, unpredictable weather conditions, invites for a cold soul shower and an introspective dive.
Performances of gentle graffiti and their ephemeral imprints in urban public spaces reflect on the value of no-budget handstyle acrobatics and water writing’s democratic character. These writings connect moist minds to watery bodies, as improvised expressions of the submerged. The garden sprayer as a vessel, as an extension of the body. That splash in the moment. Always influenced by circumstances, always a different splash. An intuitive drip of mind around the ever-changing conditions encountered in public space; physically, socially, locally, through the pool portal until a hydropower pitstop.
Splash! Let’s talk about splash-how... —when sweaty security guards and drizzling adrift dry citizens serve scripted body language. Wet brain sweats drops when indulging in ecophilia in the sauna. Involved in water’s circulation through several seasons.
What does it mean to be water based? What/who/how is a water sign? How is my body language affected when I sweat? Can I work with the sensation of a snowflake melting on my face? What about the drizzle shower makes me want to have it again? How to trip through the thirst trap? How do these waters inform my daily life or a curiosity-driven journey? How do you write hydrofemme and how will I rewrite it for you?
"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee
