Originally conceived as a live performance, The Bathtub was adapted into film — not a document of the performance, but its own standalone piece.
8 minutes 34, directed for Cecil Serres, with lighting, cinematography, photography and edit.
Shown at Duplex, Lisbon, as part of the group exhibition Hard Water, Soft Stone, curated by Susana Rocha. Cecil Serres is currently artist-in-residence at Kasteel Wijlre estate (Netherlands) for The Resonant Garden.
