Fire on Water A part of Incident Light, Center for the New Performing Arts City Park of Iowa City October 1, 1971 "Before reality was overlaid with metaphors by way of ornament; now the tendency is to eliminate the extrapoetical or real, prop and to 'realize' the metaphor to make it the res poetica." [Jose Ortega Y Gasset, The Dehumanization of Art, 1968] I construct two rafts and anchor one, loaded with a pyramid of wood, in the middle of the pond. I use the second on the evening of the performance to paddle out and ignite the conflagration. It is constructed in the manner of the desperate and innovative consisting of three sculpture bases roped together. The Clinging Fire: Li The Abysmal Water: Kan The Book of Changes
