Garbage Mansion or The Possibility of a Haunting is a dark fairy tale that combines film, live performance, and puppetry. You enter an installation that reflects the whimsical horror story of a supernatural hoarder's house and the chaos, clutter, and intimacy it holds.
In a world that produces and discards so much physical, cultural, and human waste, hoarding is a relevant vehicle through which we can look closer at our relationship with waste. In this piece, artists Marieke and Ghazale make use of storytelling as they wonder; where do things go? And how do we live with the possibility of being hauntes by that which we throw away?
