The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève presents Falling in Water, a performance in which the spectator is guided through the discovery of a post-human, hybrid being whose body is resting underwater and waiting to be born. The amphibian potentialities of the human being is expressed in radical evolutionary theories such as ‘the homo aquaticus’ by Jacques Costeau and the anti-darwin theories by biologists such as A. Hardy and Elaine Morgan. Evolution is a never-ending process which is always subject to transformation and mutation.
Bodies are fluid, and through constant liquid exchange they inhabit other bodies from around the planet. This hydrological cycle has no hierarchy, it is a constantly wet exchange from the depths of the ocean to the reservoir of the cities. It is not only a question of displacement of water but also of fragmentation of time, which starts from the very early stages of cellular developments.
