Backyard Bash: Understories
MacKenzie Greckel characterizes her multimedia spheres as “organically shaped and sustainably made disco balls” created from debris collected on KU’s campus and scavenged from thrift stores, and the remains of a broken mirror. Each sphere carries the cast-off experiences of others situated among reflective shards, bringing light and color into the Grove as both fade throughout the season. Greckel asks: Are these disco balls fallen monuments to late-stage capitalism and its distortions? Are they seeds encoded with lessons for the future?
