Description (en)
Your five zones are already at work. The fifth in a deep slumber. The hunch, speedy girl, and perennial time are making a plot. In the garden by the orange house storytelling and wild accusations will be brought into practice. A pin-board way of trying to making sense of things. A look into the micro-politics found in living with cats. There may be enactments of mutual appreciation and we might encounter a series of rude interruptions. As we graze over the trials and tribulations of crisis and kinship in the animal kingdom. The work enquired into the experience of mutual struggle and re-training; interrelating to others via ones own habits, contradictions and dependencies. Observations of ecosystems within the garden, as well as representations within imagery on cat food packaging; toyed with the question of how cultural and legal constructions affect critters within formats of so-called pet and animal contextualizations, as well as how these can be a catalyst for the politics of negotiating symbiosis within wider zones and human interrelations. Props were used as cues to trigger the live analysis of everyday artefacts, elements of strain and contradiction were embraced rather than hidden in order to expose complexities when delving into this personal interpretation of the current ecological and social crisis.
