A Harry Situation saga: Part 0
In a dystopian future, two powerful kingdoms rule the land. Their ideals could not be more different: the Fish Kingdom stands for prudishness and smoothness, while the Bear Kingdom stands for lust and hairiness.
A Harry Situation is conceived as a stage performance incorporating video elements. An initial test run was created in animated form to gain a better feel for the two kingdoms: the Bear King in the shower, the Fish Queen at the spa, and the Armpit-Hair Girls A and C during a tutoring session. Concept: A Harry Situation was created for the exhibition A Letter from a Friend, which was on view at Galerie Bacio in Berne from November 9th, 2024, to January 31st, 2025.
