2011, Between-Chapter of the living novel / Performance


Technique: Puppets of Biskuitporcelain ca. 2 – 6 cm, broom,

Butler Monsieur Renard


Size: Whole exhibtion space



This performance is also a part of the series “Le Cabinet des Arts”. During the opening of the exhibition „Die Goldenen Zwanziger. Les Annés Folles. The Roaring Twenties“, the butler brushes the little porcelain dolls through the whole exhibition space. The spectators have to pay attention to him, whether they want or not. The little dolls’ arms, legs and heads roll around in the exhibition space and make a lot of noise while they get destroyed more and more.


He changes his role depending of his surrounding. In October 2012 during the last Performance in Berlin for example he cleaned up the incredible beautiful "Mirrors Ballroom" of the famous "Clärchens Ballhaus". He changed from the butler into a sad, drunken waiter like all the others working in reality in "Clärchens Ballhaus", who only waits depressed until his closing time...in the mean while he does what told - he cleans up the Cabinet of Arts without any excuses. All naughty kids has to be cleaned up completely!
