Magdalena Australia Festival: Brisbane, Australia,
April 10-16 2003

Water[war]s - Australia

Water[war]s in Brisbane took the form of a series of interventions at the festival venue, over a 7-day period. The interventions included ongoing installations - a wooden rowing boat that slowly filled with water and a story that appeared page by page in the toilets - and six short multimedia performances.

The performances took place in locations around the venue (the Brisbane Powerhouse), accompanied by slides and a soundscape, and came under the six headings that were also the titles of each new page of the story.

1. Deluge 2. Drain 3. Irrigate 4. Dam 5. Drought 6. Solution
