Mälarmaran – scouting future fish
Climate change is knocking on the door. It’s been knocking. For a while. We might only have 80 years of clean water left in Lake Mälaren. But who cares? We've still got iced coffee? Or is it time to grow gills?
In a cumbersome yet considerate satire, OR interprets both the past and the future, presenting a performance best enjoyed ice-cold, all in one gulp. Picture this: a shot of algae-scented water, a prepping Paris Hilton just emerged from a contemporary urban big city swamp. A refreshing breeze with warm, wet regards from Lake Mälaren and the future of humanhood.
The piece was shown at Vattentorget by Slussen on August 16 at 16.00 but will develop further in a digital dimension. Mälarmaran - scouting future fish is part of Turning The Tide in collaboration with Intercult.
