In her performance, Death is Certain, Eva Meyer-Keller uses sweet cherries as her protagonists. The stalks are removed from the fruit, but they are not washed or stoned. Instead, they are brutally attacked. Meyer-Keller takes care of this business herself, in a manner that turns the everyday into something brutal. The audience is reminded of both fictional celluloid deaths and the reality of the executioner.
