Picnic is delighted to present a newly developed intervention by Katrin Hanusch. Future’s Landing invites audiences to walk alongside performers to reflect on our culture of waste. Dressed in ‘wearable sculptures’ made from defunct LED laptop screens, the performers will present a possible future scene in our streets, where all natural material is gone and all we have left to wear are the dregs of our past production and overconsumption.

The performers will complete everyday tasks, using the bank, buying food, getting their nails done, and will interact with the public. Over three different days, and three different interventions, the public is invited to mingle with this possible futuristic scene situated between Rye Lane and Katrin’s studio in New Cross Gate. 

Location

The intervention will start at All About Laptops (140 Rye Lane, SE15 4RZ) and will have several stops on Rye Lane — involving shops, cafes and other businesses: Jaffa Food Store, The Makeover Hair Nail Beauty Salon, Kahn Masters Hairdressing/Barber, Barclay Bank, Cafe Spice, Khan’s Bargain, Snappy Snap Photo, PCT Salon Beauty Nails, fruit and veg stalls, Peckham Hair and Cosmetic, beside others.
