In collaboration with Soo Sunny Park,
Fluorescent paint, live plants, black lights, performers wearing tyvek suits and headlamps, 10'H x 16'W x 8'D
A 3-hour performance during which every leaf of every plant in an indoor "terrarium" is painted with fluorescent paint by performers in tyvek suits and headlamps. The plants become increasingly alienated from their "natural" state as they transform into a bionic, futuristic forest that fluoresces like plankton in the ocean.
