Excerpt from text being read during performance while it was also being shredded and fed to the worms:
'As winter arrived, MC placed the compost bin inside the kitchen in order to keep the worms alive and decomposing, even though I was not so keen on this idea. Now they are doing great, apparently even reproducing, in their box beside our kitchen table.
They are an integrated part of the ecosystem of our home.
I can guarantee that they cannot get out!
But I dream about worms escaping, devouring first the bowls of fruit, houseplants, piles of newspaper, then moving on to wallpaper, books, furniture and art works... '
'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.
