sunset blister (2018)


a platform announces that adult content

is going to be banned, eroding consensual sexuality,

pushing things farther, shaming further. visibility, sanitation.

a season of peppa pig, tech changing hands, making space for ads.

cleaning up is really a form of displacing

sewage diverted into a body of water, polluted,

pumped back into a desalination plant,

salt gone, shit gone, sea mist, freshwater,

you can call me baby too. pump it back to the household


There are many types of abrasion but a limit to transformation. ‘Sunset Blister’ is a new work by Ivan Cheng performed with Ivey Wawn in their first appearance since 2014. Alongside a video, it is prepared in tandem with 4 workshops for English speaking youth aged 8-15 in Antwerp, and the production of a glass wind instrument blown from melted volcanic pumice, produced by Eric Pipien at LUCA School of Arts Ghent.
