In July I travelled with my family to Lisboa and visited my friend Hans Kuiper aka Inspector Casino.
With me I brought my autonomous portable audio system. In the neighborhood cafe's I asked around for some cardboard boxes and made my cardboard speaker backpack. After I made the speakers I was "waiting" for the moment when it felt right to PERFORM. I wanted it to be part of the everyday transition of actions. Just a change of intention. After a full day of activities; going to the city, shopping for groceries, going to the beach and making some field recordings along the way. I ended up making an action in the park of the suburb where Hans was living.
The title refers to two different public parks located in Lisbon. Because of the name Monsanto I instantly had to think of the multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnological corporation. Parallel to the choice of park it also suggests a fictional action, eventually choosing not to go for Monsanto seeds but something that grows organic, for something unmodified, not patented and nameless.
