ONLY
CATS

Die Katze. Wie kein anderes Tier hat sie es geschafft, in Co-Existenz mit den Menschen zu leben, ohne ihre Selbstbestimmtheit einzubüßen. Die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Katze ist eine viel thematisierte in Literatur und Film. Wenn das Tier hierbei auch noch anstelle einer Person tritt und gar menschliche Züge annimmt, wird es schnell trashig, mitunter auch pervers. Daher beschäftigt sich dieses Programm mit abstrusen Beziehungsmodellen, in denen Katzen eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Von Sehnsüchten und Identitätskrisen, über toxic relationships bis hin zum Kinderersatz ist hier alles, was man sich (nicht) vorstellen kann, dabei. Ein poppiger Ausflug in die Auswüchse der menschlichen Psyche.

Helen works as a catsitter, feeding cats while their owners are away. When one day she can't seem to find a mysterious client's cat in their apartment, but the bowl of cat food is empty every morning, she becomes curious. Waiting for the cat to appear, she falls asleep and when she wakes up, what she sees blurs the fine line between reality and dream.

Independent of one another, thirty women present themselves and their beloved pets in selfie poses on the internet. They declare their love for the animals enthusiastically as they hug, kiss and cuddle them. Since all the women use the same vocabulary as if rehearsed, their utterances swell into a chorus of meaninglessness.
