Holoscenes is a performance installation that viscerally connects the long-term patterns behind climate change to our everyday behaviors.

Presented in a public space, the centerpiece of Holoscenes is a large aquarium that floods, drains, and floods again by way of a hydraulic system that moves 12 tons of water in a minute. The aquarium is inhabited by a performer conducting one of many everyday behaviors sourced from collaborators across the planet.

Our mantra, be one with the subject, led us to design a poster that is submerged in water repeatedly until eventually the title of the show is completely obliterated.

A 12-page tabloid to be distributed to all performance attendees was also created and features photos by Lars Jan, the Artistic Director of the Early Morning Opera.
