This is the Word for Fisherman

2nd October 2009

ZOOM! Westereuropa, Hildesheim, Germany

Duration: 20 minutes

 
   
   
In This is the Word for Fisherman I begin by introducing of a series of objects as elements of a narrative, both verbally and in Sign. The objects are then arranged and rearranged to visually describe the tale of a fisherman's quest to catch a fish. Three versions of the same narrative are told, at the start of which, the same objects are reintroduced as different elements of the story. The performance works by encoding objects as other objects, which then have to be remembered inorder to follow the story.
