Pigs! Hardly any other animal has accompanied the development of Homo sapiens as closely as the pig. While dogs, cats and horses have always had a deeply romanticized relationship with us as partners, pigs have always played the role of unclean farm animals. And what’s more, pigs functioned as the well-fed embodiment of the filthy inferior and grunting evil. Its pig-like, sociable nature is particularly similar to our own. So pigs seem both distant and close to us at the same time. And even modern cultural studies have long since recognized that pigs sometimes even appear as our doppelgangers. However, they are not doppelgangers of humans, but rather ambassadors of a strange, uncanny thing that, hidden and repressed, nests in the unlit corners of every human being.<\/p>\n
In a multimedia installation, eight artists act and reflect live, in attraction and repulsion, fusion and contradiction, stylistic break and elegance, the people in the pig and vice versa. Transcending taste and genre boundaries, the question arises: Who is who?<\/p>\n
In addition to the PIGWISE screenings from June 3 to 7, there will be a PIGWISE SPECIAL on June 5. In the 20-minute forensic decomposition film SCHWEINCHEN, Mirko Borscht meets J\u00f6rg Buttgereit and Mark Benecke.<\/p>\n
