Waste-is-land (2018) performative installation is the second research project of my practice-based PhD research in Ulster University, Belfast Campus. The piece was activated and shaped by participants each time in a cyclic way. Waste-is-land incorporated a vocal improvisation based on Wasteland by T.S. Eliott performed by Eleni Kolliopoulou and James King, a hanging pot with a lilac tree, an open worn suitcase with coffee ground and soil, worn clothes, a bucket. The piece addressed the embodiment of Lifedeath a core concept of Butoh dance.
