Details

Hippo World is a real web site where the global community of hippopotamus enthusiasts gathers. Visitors are invited to sign the site's guest book, an evidently unmoderated forum in which the hippophiles increasingly struggle to be heard among subversive voices and the encroaching gloom of automated spam. Gathering edited highlights into an hilarious and unexpectedly poignant litany of thwarted optimism, Hippo World Guest Book is the latest in a series of reading-performances by Chris Goode which seek to rescue marginal writings and outsider texts by presenting them in the classic formats of authorised utterance.
