Aftermath … the end

Aftermath continues …

Aftermath begins

When the feast was over, all the dishes, glasses and serving bowls with their leftovers were filled to the brim with a dense salt brine. The table was then allowed to sit untouched for two months. The salt crystallization took over and created salt encrusted dishes, and seeped onto the table around them.

Feast 12.12.12

The feast 12.12.12 was hosted and performed by the Collectif Post-néo-rielistes, a group of Franco-Manitoban writers at the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The writers took turns reading excerpts of their work throughout the evening and left their papers along with the leftovers of their dinner on the table. At the end of the evening, Elvira Finnigan filled all the dishes and glasses to the brim with a dense salt brine. The table will now sit undisturbed for two months.
