THE MESS//Toxic Temple

The Toxic Temple is a rolling transdisciplinary performance and sound intervention to produce and play with an ecology beyond numbers. Collectively performed by a number of artists from 2019 onwards, THE MESS is a recurring endurance performance that frames ecological decline through the prefigurative messy chaos of a plastic worshipping cult.
"Toxic Temple is an attempt to reflect on the darker sides of our ecological complex of problems in a creative and innovative way. It seeks to experiment with unthought-of paradigms of action as a Cult of Waste or a religion of pollution.”
