FEIT

video installation

FEIT deals with the topic of "sibling rivalry" through presenting narrative images
of two wrestlers fighting. The material is taken from a GDR sport education movie
from 1979. The images were edited in a way that the movements of the athletes tell
the story of a (pseudo-)affectionate and brutal love-hate relationship between
two protagonists. This story points at siblings in nature and their fight for survival.
The audio track adds another layer to the presented images: one can hear a formal documentary about the bald eagle and its behaviour in nature. The bald eagle is the national symbol of the USA and stands for its power, freedom and independance. The hatched chicks of the bald eagle fight for survival. The so-called "underdog", the smaller chick, gets less food from the mother and dies eventually. In a whole, this is a natural mechanism to assure that there is any new born generation at all in case one of the chicks won´t hatch. The two small eaglets fight in the nest for food and attention from their mother. Within this subtle field, one can think about the relations between the economical situation, the two former German states, the situation of the European Union and its currency as well as the development of capitalistic ideas and egos.
