Out of the bed and into the gallery
Experiences with hotels on their journeys let zweintopf do a project with white towels. The outputs of creative chambermaids were brought to the art gallery. Discovering the „art“ of towel origami zweintopf decided to go „hunting“ and „catch“ some wild towel animals to present it in the gallery. As a result of this hunt three videos and 120 animals were shown in a menagerie, guarded with an electric fence which also forced the visitors to behave like being in an enclosure. Observation cameras filmed both, animals and visitors, because the animals were just static when facing vistors, during the night they seemed to move and did several formations.
