In the dark month of December 2020 my project “Eine Katze Hat 7/9 Leben” / “A Cat Has 7/9 Lives” will be shown in two winter exhibitions:
• The video art work A Cat Has Seven Lives, 7:42, in gallery VBK, Berlin, as part of the group exhibition “Wie leben?“, 04.12. – 31.12.2020, www.vbk-art.de
• The 9 object boxes A Cat Has Nine Lives in gallery LortzingART, Hannover, as part of the group exhibition “Vermischtes”, from 28 November 2020 – www.lortzingart.de

A CAT HAS 7/9 LIVES
“A Cat Has 7/9 Lives” includes a series of objects and a video in animation and mixed media.
Old and new photos, scanned materials such as rope, engravings in plexiglass, film, leaves, were processed into a series of small boxes. Afterwards a video was created from these, in which the images were reworked and enhanced with various digital animation techniques.
The seven lives of the cat follow each other in a time line, and each life is announced with bells or drums. The seventh life is the longest part of the film and is the secret of the search for the hermit, i.e.: the spiritual search. The hermit is not found: the sublime remains unreachable.
