A scene from the performance “Waste Me”: On stage, there is a large collection of everyday items such as clothing, mattresses, household appliances, and other objects, piled up into a chaotic heap. In the foreground stands a person in a striking costume made of several green foam rolls attached to the body. Another person in a bright, angular costume is lying on the pile. Fog or smoke drifts along the bottom edge of the frame. The scene is colorful and appears to be theatrically staged.
