Loool, well I'm not going to give you a detailed lowdown of my entire trip around because I don't have the skill nor energy to recount at that length, but I can share my experience at one of the locations with you. I've got to say this one is one of my absolute most favourite installations (as my art friend coins it) of the entire event.
The artists had three tableaux as part of an end of the world series. The first was set in a classroom, with a teacher and two students, a male and a female, milling around it. Everyone had translucent white face paint on that made them all look like zombies...They walked with stiff movements resembling zombies too and kept straight faces the entire time. So amazing. Anyway, this particular tableau was partly interactive too. The stage was sectioned off by rope, but the female student walked up to the onlookers and held out a crumpled sheet of paper. I took it after five seconds of 'someone take it!!'. The sheet was a page from an agenda or something with WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY... you get the point... scrawled across it. It was really freaky and I didn't quite understand it completely, and unfortunately there was no sign anywhere that could tell us more about what this particular part of the display was about. I ended up writing a thank you note to the artists on the sheet of paper I took from them and leaving it on one of the student desks... I wonder if they'd read it or just thought it was trash. > w<
The other two tableaux were interesting as well, but I didn't spend as much time there since my friends wanted to move on. One was of a living room on Christmas night and the other was a scene at an office.
You should go next year. It would make me so happy. o uo
