Height, Weight and Age
Multi-media installation and performance: Height, Weight and Age by Stephen Hobbs in collaboration with Emil Lars.
Hobbs’ interactive approach to story-telling fuses the worlds of medicine, architecture and war in an unpacking of personal horrors and artistic dramas emanating from the raw realities of the city he loves most, Johannesburg!

Audience Responses
A very personal story told with great inventiveness. I thought it was extraordinary and the children sat through it without a murmur. But perhaps I am rather biased
Stephen has been through one heleva lot in his life and the way in which he has expressed it in his artwork is superb. It's a great pity that there were so few people there and I feel that this should have been marketed in a much bigger way. One cannot rely on Facebook or emails only.
I love the way he shared his personal life traumas and experiences with the audience. What was interesting is he drew a parallel with the trauma of living in crime ridden Johannesburg. We all experience Jo'burg trauma and in this way were able to identify with his personal life experiences. Fantastic presentation.
