The Fool that Cthulhu Once Knew
Mykietyn has built an installation arising from a performance
staged on the opening night of the exhibition. He based his
performance on "The Call of Cthulhu", a story by H. P. Lovecraft,
and a particular point in the story when Cthulhu discovers an
underwater city before being eaten by a terrifying sea
creature.
"The Call of Cthulhu" has a cult following and exists both as a
computer game, and as a role playing game in which human beings are
significant pawns in the games of ancient, fiendish and supremely
powerful gods. It is and example of another 'world' just outside
the bounds of reality, in which people immerse themselves.
