In the Tired Watering
Interdisciplinary artist Jota Mombaça and Serpentine Galleries Art Director Hans Ulrich Obrist discuss Mombaça’s latest work, a performance at the Art Biennale 2022 in Venice called “In the Tired Watering”.
The performance was built on a series of rhythmic chants and unraveling of fabric that left many visitors mystified. “I wanted to express what water has to say about the current planetary condition”, explains the Brazilian non-binary artist.
“Water is coming, leave!” was not only a repetitive warning in the performance but is already reality on the island of San Giacomo, due to rising sea levels and climate change.
