Flush performance, London


Site-specific performance 2002
duration 30mins

Performers: Elgin Clausen, Jen Saunders, Claudia Kappenberg.

Two performers engage in a ritualistic activity, which suggests an un-obtainable goal: they endeavour to scoop water from one side of the bridge and pour it into the other whilst working in opposition to each other.

The activity stands in a marked contrast to the sense of purpose and usefulness of the daily journeys of the passer-by.
