Description

The Stuff Revolutionis a meditation on materialism and consumerism, created to contemplate the Anthropocene—the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. The piece hints at a world flooded with stuff, no longer contained, and bursting into the open. It is both cautionary dystopian message, and call to awareness of our current environmental trajectory. The text is excerpted from Scott Crandall's “Visions for the End of the World,”an experimental performance piece that explores the idea of Armageddon through poetry, images, and dance.
