Herd Animals
Alma Winneche / / 2023
Revolution lurks in a dark and dystopian world where nothing exists but structures and norms and a series of shiny white dominoes.
Four people sit in a dark room with nothing but a domino game on the table in front of them. Above them, a godlike voice murmurs, ordering them one by one what to do. They rise and tell stories of an angry child, ethnicity, structural imprisonment, painting, childhood, death, conformity, malaise and fragile voices. But beneath the divine commands lurks a blinking rebellion against the powers that be. And a rebellion against the past and the structures and norms and standards they have each been forced to live up to throughout their lives. Four people who have had enough of being herd animals. And maybe it’s time to put your finger on one of those shiny white dominoes.
