Excerpt from text being read during performance while it was also being shredded and fed to the worms:



'Our landlord does not prioritize food composting, so now we can at least recycle organic matter. The worms in the box seem to constantly move, they twist, twirl and roll around little pieces of paper, vegetables, and other organic matter that I feed them. In return they produce worm castings – aka poo – which is a fertilizer for our plants both indoor and outside.'...

'Merlin Sheldrake notes how the decomposing process seemed to show him a way to reverse, to think backwards. “[…] unless decomposers unmake, there isn’t anything that the composers can make with.”  Thinking backwards is also essential in notions of non-normative timelines and queer temporalities, beyond ideas of fixed beginnings and ends.'

'Decomposing' was a performance made specifically for the release of the book 'The Exposed Eye #2' (Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand). The performance was based on the contribution that Louise Wolthers and MC Coble collaborated on for this publication.
