My Auckland Daily favourites – 15

Originally posted on June 7, 2008, this was a street performance, part of the “Living Room Art at Home in the CBD” called “My Heart is a Beast”. A sort of a dance performance evoking the enigmatic presence of the half-human half-stag creature whose wild spirit blends into everyday urban life. It was supposed to asks us to consider ourselves in the city, a place where the beast no longer belongs. It wanted us to consider what civilisation means and how far we have travelled from animal to civilised human.
