"Black Pool" Visual Art Installation

Black Pool Performance created by Katarina Danks and Leila Mesdaghi Winner of Visual Art Category Created for Ghostbird Theater's 24-Hour Festival 2018 Necessary fragment: ...turn around, try not to shake... Plot: The main character has discovered a secret in a cold, cold place Theme: We are all hallucinating all the time. Black Pool was created on the pretense of revealing thoughts, trust, and syncopation of a new friendship. Two people are engaged in sharing a secret, which is preserved before you as a written, then destroyed confession. Every secret has to have a listener for a teller to be revealed, a one and a two. The secret will melt in the void, and deteriorate, and the listener will become vulnerable to either staying a listener, or becoming a teller… “Don’t turn around, try not to shake your commitment.” Secret discovered by friend in a cold, cold place; a block of ice Cold, cold place - block of ice Hallucination - sound of birds, eye darting One and a two - counting in a rhythm, a steady pace, goal uninterrupted Bell - sound made by hitting a bowl, an attempted interruption Black pool - paint on rug, the void Bright red things - red book Book of memories - red book Broken candle - hanging from ice, searched under dream interpretation
