Zero to Hundred alludes to water in its three states;
solid at zero degree centigrade, fluid at temperatures
between zero to a hundred degrees centigrade, and
rapidly vaporizing as it comes to boiling point. While
this is scientific and empirical, it also suggests water
and its states on our planet are indicators of its
ecological fragility. As global temperatures rise, as
polar ice caps and mountain permafrost melt; weather
patterns become unpredictable and floods and
drought become frequent. Our effect as humans on
nature has never felt more palpable and water as
clouds, rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, is memorizing
our legacy and pitfalls. As inhabitants of one of the
most water rich places in the world, at the edge of the
Arabian Sea, the change is here. From Zero to
Hundred in contrast also wants to draw attention to
our obsession with high speed technology. It is a
measure for the performance of sports cars, e.g. the
2023 Porsche 919 goes from 0 to 100 Km/hour in 1.9
seconds making it one of the fastest acceleration in a
car.
As artists our poetics are our means of mirroring and
archiving. As live artists, with our bodies as containers
of water, we invite you to use movement, stillness,
presence and absence to draw attention to water, the
elixir of life.
