Cutting the Melon/Cortando el Melón
Cutting the Melon took place in Venezuela in May 2006. Four pairs of volunteers were asked to cut a melon to explain an aspect of the political situation in Venezuela. This participative event was recorded from above using digital video and photography.
“A wonderfully imaginative way of presenting a very complex political situation in Venezuela - informative, innovative and interesting. Thankyou.”
The work was exhibited as part of the Festival of Ideas at the Centre for Latin American Studies at 18 Mill Lane, Cambridge from late October until mid- November 2008. If you missed it, you can see it here, on Youtube. See the project documentation pdf for more detailed information.
