antipopper

Our second experience of Videotage‘s RecRoom nights at the Cattle Depot was all about blocking out the visual to appreciate the aural, so the lack of light made it somewhat hard to take photos — especially given my aversion to using my awful, puny flash. But I took photos anyway, relying on my (un)steady hands and the odd prop to hold two-second exposures. Here’s the photoset. Sebastian and Florian bought these whacky foam floating aids for use in swimming pools, and scattered them amongst cushions on the floor for people to lean their body-parts on. I felt like I was floating in a tank.

Now the Cattle Depot Artists’ Village, as its name suggests, used to be a slaughterhouse. I don’t know anything about such stuff; those drains/troughs that run through every space in Cattle Depot, indoors and outdoors — were they for water, or blood? Hmmm.
