CAT_AS
TROPHIC
Trigger warning: explicit depiction of animal cruelty.
This program focuses on the second part of the word 'Katzenjammer'. After the exhilarating amusement in the first program, disillusionment now comes to light in the form of social missteps, deceptions, and grievances. When the adrenaline rush subsides, fatigue sets in. As diverse as the individual stories may be, they are all connected by the question mark that arises at the end of each one. How did it come to this? How did we allow ourselves to be led astray by societal conventions, by our social environment, by ourselves?

Three movie scenes, showing stunts that led to the deaths of the stunt doubles performing them. In some cases these scenes remained in the films whereby the audience witnessed an actual death on screen while simultaneously watching a fictional one.

Whilst we remain safe and sound, watching the newest cat fail compilation - all that is kept out of sight gets back to us in this consumerist nightmare. On a global playground without bounds the cat´s body is devoured, exploited and controlled - its fear of pain being stronger than the longing for freedom. Objects are fetishized and subjects made into things that are quantifiable and ready for use.

Time and time again, the feature film places animal actors at the side of its human protagonists – sometimes as loyal companions, sometimes as fierce opponents. However, its stagings do not only instrumentalise animals to release emotions, but also raise a fundamental question of our anthropocentric self-image: how do we deal with the differences?
