Performance Information
Pushing Up Daisies is a performance in four acts with a two-sided marionette who serves as a messenger from a threshold between life and death, where they sit in perpetuity. The work departs from the consideration of the fear of death as a symptom of Western society, where medicalization, social stigma, secularization, censorship of genocide, and self-optimization abstract one of the few experiences all living bodies share, with the privilege of time or distance, or through violent interruption.
About the Artist
Lili Huston-Herterich is an American-Canadian artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Lili has a situated practice both materially and conceptually. She works with what she is in close vicinity to in order to develop a dialogue from her current position historically, geographically, and economically. She works alone and with other people and makes sculpture, performance, sound, and video.
