No Escape

Performance with 50 mechanical robots

I gave myself the task to control a troop of 50 manipulated and skinned toy animals, keep them together as a herd and in a gentle way guide them in the right direction. With this piece I want to deal with issues related to the theoretical concept of The Uncanny and in a political point of view question control, boundaries and group behavior by referring to the description of something as "Orwellian". Shown at Gallery Stene Projects 2010.
