Past Works
birdfoxmonster
An intimate, multi-sensory dining experience at the intersection of theatrical performance, food and visual art.
Sample bespoke dishes that exemplify the artists’ idiosyncratic attachments to food, ranging from romantic to exploratory and obsessive. Set against a backdrop of video projections, masked performers will interact with the audience seated at long tables, which double as a catwalk. Food is served on bespoke MUD Australia ceramic crockery, hand-painted by the artists.
Murder
Inspired by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ Murder Ballads, Erth meditate on the violence staining our world and delve into our culture’s obsession with murder.
Welcome to the scene of the crime. A sinister yet compelling figure holds sway: interrogator, confessor and master of ceremonies, conjuring into life the figures of Nick Cave’s dark world of love, lust and death.
Erth’s Artist in Residence at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney
The Nargun and the Stars
An ancient stone creature threatens the lives of a family on a lonely sheep farm in Australia.
