God's Entertainment

Commissioned work

The route begins with a boat cruise on land, passes through a mountain range of oil tanks, and ends in a maze of driftwood where a walk-in aquarium awaits! With God’s Entertainment, the waterway transforms into a surreal parallel world, into a potentially venomous snake, a dubious doppelganger of the “Blue Danube” that summons our uncanny and repressed notions of (southeastern) Europe. Indeed, the dominion of water is a trade route and place of longing, a migration corridor and national border, nature and sewer. As a myth and speculation, it creates trails to be followed, connects the flows of things and beings, of oil, waste, data, swarms, and pheromones. These paths chart outrageous movements, devise tactics of translation and transgression, and lead to unplanned encounters. In the Danube double by God’s Entertainment, everything flows.
