WATERING

Performance

Seedamm Cultural Center Pfäffikon 1998


For one time, the Pfäffikon Performance Day was moved to Lake Zurich. The performances took place during a tour with the ship “Albis”. With an old standing skiff, the two performers rowed in front of the bow of the motor ship and, in this way, interrupted the tour. From the railing, passengers could follow the action. Armed with buckets, the two artists filled their boat with water while reciting the names of passengers present onboard the motor ship, until the boat sank along with the performers. “Watering” is a process that is repeated every year with a wooden boat; the boat is filled with water so that the wood swells and the planks are made leakproof again.
