Bread Cat versus Votze Cat - the two art figures created by Commissioner Hjuler (Flensburg/D) with different levels of cultural development and intellect get into a conflict similar to a state of war. Within the framework of an internationally realized collaboration, this fictitious dispute is processed by artists of different origins (Europe, Brazil, Iran, USA) by means of implementing the figures in photographic works, painting, objects, performance and video. From partly completely different associations to and reactions to the bread cat, individually relevant aspects are taken up by the project participants and placed in the context of social or cultural fields of tension. ►more
