Toxic Temple MESS is a durational trans-disciplinary performance which will take
place from 20 to 23 of May 2022 at Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
We cordially invite you to bring your
sacrificial offerings (“waste”) to honor the Cult: Plastics, derelict electronics, e-scooters, nuclear waste, styrofoam –
all are welcome!
Special interactive workshops will take place every day. Please check
toxictemple.beautyLeached soils, acidified seas,
polluted atmospheres.
We are haunted by the repressed.
We can no longer escape its poison.
LET´S GET SICK WITH
IT!
A shrine for the inner contradictions,
absurdities and risks,
a solidarization with the facts.
We enter wastelands instead of unspoiled soil
and let the artifacts speak for themselves.
Colourful
assemblages of things that connect the known cosmos,
shaky grounds of new divinity and acrid smells that carry us into
the sublime.
Landfills are the new temples.
In a sadistic manner we inhale the here and now.
Transformative
forces are released. Free radicals.
Rituals to unmask the chaos beneath the smooth surface.
What changes when
we religiously worship the power of toxicity?
Can a cult of pollution establish a cosmic connection in our time of disaster?
