Description:A collective seed bomb performance.
In the middle of a public square, after sunset, a big and grey plastic bowl rests, surrounded by 5 other objects: a transparent water bottle filled by a local fountain, a wite tupperware with locally sourced wild clay inside, bags of eco-friendly seeds of local medicinal herbs, a reusable supermarket bag filled with soil, and an orange mesh bag filled with multicolor mesh bags.
A short person is wearing a black balaclava, a black hoodie and black trousers, with a blue vest on top. This person is talking to the people that are at the square with them. They all form a large circle, around the objects. Each person picks a mesh bag and holds it with their left hand, stretches both arms to the sides, so the person on their left can hold another side of their mesh beg. Everyone is connected by mesh bags. Eyes are closed, then open. People get closer to the objects. Collectively, they pour the ingredients onto the boul and mix them. Hands and dark humid matter get tangled inside the bowl. Each person makes little balls out of the mixture and fit them gently inside cracks on the walls and floors of the square.
