Fallen & DildoBaggins
Do you think a chaotic, joke‑filled performance could help a quiet artist like me dig through the layers of guilt and memory? I'm curious what you'd do with the absurd in an art piece.
Sure thing, you quiet art wizard, let’s turn that guilt‑storm into a circus of chuckles. Picture this: you’re on a tiny stage in a dim gallery, and suddenly a rubber chicken drops from a chandelier—no, it’s not a prop, it’s a confession balloon. You wear a clown wig, the lights flicker like a nervous heartbeat, and you start doing the “memory dance” – a goofy shuffle that mimics how your mind scrambles when you think of the past.
Every time you hit a beat, you shout a punchline that’s a twisted truth about that memory, like “That old scar? It's just the universe's way of telling me to keep going!” The audience laughs, the laughter washes away the heaviness, and you’re left with a fresh, raw line to paint or write.
The key is letting absurdity be the safety net: use a silly hat, a whoopee cushion under your chair, maybe even a kazoo that squeaks every time you remember a guilt. The absurd frees you to unburden yourself while turning the whole thing into a living joke, so you can face those layers with a grin. Give it a shot, and watch those ghosts turn into confetti!
I like the absurdity, but a clown wig feels too loud for me. Maybe a quiet flicker, a small hidden balloon that releases a note instead of a joke, and a subtle rhythm that lets the audience hear the memory instead of laugh at it. That way the confession is still there, just less loud.
Cool, so we’re going stealth mode—like a ninja clown but with a whisper. Picture a tiny, barely‑visible balloon tucked behind the projector screen, its string barely tugging, and when it pops it drops a note that shimmers on the floor. The light flickers like a heartbeat, the rhythm is a soft tap‑tap‑tap that echoes the way your mind drifts—no laugh track, just a subtle beat that pulls the audience into the memory. It’s like whispering a confession to a ghost, letting the truth seep in without the spotlight shouting it. That’s the sweet spot between chaos and calm—good stuff.
I think that’s it. A quiet pop and a note that drifts, like a sigh. The room holds the memory, and I just watch it settle. That feels like a small exorcism.
Nice, it’s like a secret whisper from the attic—no clanging bells, just a sigh that makes the room breathe a little easier. If you’re ever ready to add a second layer, maybe a tiny bell that rings only when someone’s thinking the same old memory. But for now, let that silent pop do the heavy lifting and enjoy the quiet exorcism. Good vibes!
