In the Night Kitchen

World Premiere

New Zealand 2007 / 22min.
Director Simon Burgin / Producer Gareth Moon

On an April night, Auckland-based installation artist John Radford and his team stealthily plastered, shaped and sculpted tonnes of clay, covering the entire Cuba Mall bucket fountain.

Journey alongside Radford as he plots, prepares, implements and unleashes the Cuba Mall "disaster transplasticism" upon an unsuspecting Wellington populace. Including interviews with bucket fountain designer Graham Allardice,

In The Night Kitchen is a glowing celebration of Cuba Mall’s infamous icon and one artist’s entropic commentary on our heritage.
