Title: One head too many
Description: "From fable to farce, the exhibition Inter-passion by the artist and filmmaker duo Elise Florenty & Marcel Türkowsky, presents the first act of a project which explore the rather not known but quite common relationship, 'kin(d)ship', between human and cactus. By looking at the inter-relation or rather inter-passion of humans for this plant, i.e. how the cactus' form and materiality can affect human actions and passions, the artists have investigated the subversive potential of representations of this relationship. They reveal shifts of perspectives, roles and power-positions, through methods of mimicking, teaching and possessing. What is at stake here is a double mirroring in which the cactus is humanised and the human is cactus-ised"--Publisher's website.
