'The End of Eating Everything'

  • Multi channel sound performance

2016

This live audio-visual essay takes its title from a work by Wangechi Mutu which shows a monstrous form of consumption underwater. ‘The End of Eating Everything’ considers what Drexciyans might consume underwater, what things are consuming each other around them and what boundaries might be eroded between the what’s and the who’s of what is being eaten. The End of Eating Everything is performed with Tom Hirst and uses 5 tracks of video, underwater and outer space sounds, live and recorded voice overs (reading texts by Fred Moten, Christina Sharpe, HP Lovecraft and others) and music by Drexciya and other subaquatic musical bands. It is divided into 4 parts: Clocks and Stars, Cities Under the Sea, Monsters and Coasts.
