Cat and bear

Video/Installation, 3.22 min, DV Cam, Münster, Germany

The video is looped on a 17" monitor inside of a wooden house with a window. In this small wooden house 'Cat and Bear' are living. They can be observed while enacting their daily business as eating, discussing, dancing and making love. The small house, they are caught in, serves as a metaphor for our own limitations and boundaries. While the observer looks down on the entertaining and small creatures, he puts himself in a superior position, meanwhile our life is mirrowed in its relativity.

In a small wooden house, visible through a lit window, live Cat and Bear. Observers can follow their daily activities: eating, fighting, dancing, and loving each other. As the viewer looks down at the two amusing little creatures from above, they assume a superior position. Yet the artwork simultaneously holds up a mirror, challenging the viewer with their own relativity, as the pair closely mirrors a human couple. The small house acts as a metaphor for our own limitations and the traditional ways of life we retreat to.
