Climate Change Survival Mask

A Performative Bricolage
It is a Bricolage, performance based on a dystopian vision that could happen in the near future. The project expresses a statement which shows how hard it would be to achieve our basic body functions during climate change in the future.

The project is a self-made climate change survival mask built from available materials, mostly plastic, and tools from electronic rests and medical elements to help us in basic rough ways in breathing, drinking, eating, communicating, kissing, expressing oneself, achieving alternative self-esteem methods and beauty standards and a plant It makes us ask ourselves questions like: how would our bodies work or look like, even how our movement would be like? In this case I show my personal vision which is: Everything will get harder!

CCSM Lentos Performane 2018

Eating Performance

My statement is to present the research-based effects of climate change on our everyday activities. This performance was made unannounced to the dinner table during the opening of our exhibition with the Art University of Linz Austria in Lentos Kunstmuseum 2018.

Movement Performance

A performative act as a try to answer the questions:
How would our movement look like? Are we going to have the freedom of movement? How about dancing?

Build Your Own CCSM

It’s a Manual on how to DIY your own Climate Change Survival Mask (CCSM) from available materials designed in a way that mass production companies would do their manuals.
The flyers should be indirectly presented.

The Mask Parts

  1. Sharing the breath with a plant. In this Case I chose Areca Palm since it’s known to be one of the most Oxygen producers in the world.
  2. Expressing emotions using tiny vibrating elements connected in and out with buttons to help replacing our facial touching senses like kissing.
  3. Eating and drinking through bumping medical tubes.
  4. Speaking through a small mic inserted in the mask.
  5. Beautifying the sound using sound effects and all the sounds connected to an amplifier. As a way of replacing our current social beauty standards.
