February 1st, 2009 - Vidéo (excerpt) produced in march 2013

"The interconnections of people, dogs, fungi, food...performing" by Nicole Fournier, is a fun subversion “of the gallery walls as a plate”. It is a performance of making a live abstract food painting, on the gallery wall that we are all invited, including dogs, to eat, right off the wall. 

From part of a performance curatorial event  Interconnected Performers by Nicole Fournier (collaboration between InTerreArt and articule) between Nicole Fournier, tagny duff and eric letourneau.

(live dining actions - dirt (earth, soil) on the floor and vegetable on the earth, with symbolic harvesting going on and composting and preparing and cooking, to painting with food paint, for painting on the wall and then eating off the wall.... other actions were performed, from the "Blinding light of death and cooking the earth" such as sharking and weedwacker action, blow drying food, and other absurd but meaningful actions....)

the following 11 series of photos, which begin at the beginning of the performance event.

The 3 performances by Nicole Fournier, Tagny Duff and André Eric Letourneau, happened simultaneous, each interacting with each other in subtle and obvious ways.

The process of painting the wall with good food for us all to eat: "off the wall"
preparing and cooking the vegetable paint for eating/dining, was done by Nicole Fournier and members of the public-participants

The Interconnections of people,dogs, fungi, food,...performing
Installation-performance starting at noon, action at 7pm and 7:30pm

Interconnected Performers showcases some of the concerns of interspecies relations, interhuman relations, bioworks, ecologies and interconnections with non-human performers. The event addresses human interrelationships and collectivity using living matter, bacteria, fungi and cellular collectivity (which make up humans and other species), along with non-cellular, viral performance, interconnected to life. It is about invisible performances that take place in the microcosm and the macrocosm.
