VIVIAN WONG

In the first part of the performance:

Taking out the fish bowl with the cotton and the vase with the lilies and water, I try to tear the cotton into long strips that would not break. (The vase was taken away by Pang Jing during the tearing process.) Putting the cotton strips into the mouth and chewing on them; the cotton is compressed during chewing but cannot be swallowed, it lingers in my mouth. Vomits are triggered physiologically, and finally I spit out the cotton several times. (In the process of tearing the cotton, some of it fell to the ground and Kenneth tied it to my hair.) Arrange the cotton and the scattered onion pieces in order of size as if their growing process is displayed.

Pour the water left in the vase into the fishbowl, collect the cotton and press it together. The white cotton was mixed with polyester hollow PP cotton as it was collected along the way, passing around the feet of the spectators. The PP cotton does not have the same resilience as the water-absorbing cotton, making it difficult to compress it. The cotton stretches across the fishbowl, and as it swells, I place a flower bud-like onion on the top. Walking carefully, the fishbowl tilts as it is too crowded in my arms. The water slowly flows out, soaking my nude coloured skirt.
