cordial

The performance artist walks to the end of a pier or similar jetty type structure by the sea. He wears a suit & tie and carries an industrial size bottle of cordial (Raspberry, Orange & Mango etc). The performer pours the bottle into the sea, waits a few seconds and then leaves. The Performance continues once a week for 3 weeks. At the end of this period, results will be taken by observation on and around the shoreline. Darwin's theory regarding evolution suggests that humans were born from the sea - as fish that once swam and were eventually lured to the land by temptations that were unavailable to them underwater. This performance is an attempt to PROVE HIS THEORY by introducing aquatic life to the WONDERS OF FLAVOURED DRINKS - thus recreating the evolution process! It is believed that the essential difference between humans and fish, is that humans can choose what it is that they can drink. The fish must forever sip from the eternal refreshment that is their home. If the fish do not eveolve during the performance, it CONCLUSIVELY PROVES one or a number of things: 1. Fish do not want to leave the water, 2. Fish do not like the particular flavours offered, 3. Darwin was wrong, thus proving the existence of God, 4. Humans have never really been able to choose what they want to drink: because it is dictated to them by flavoured beverage advertising (coke, pepsi etc) - thus the fish are already aware of this and cannot discern the difference between salt water and Dr. Pepper anyway.
