Mutuality R.I.P. Michelle

R.I.P. – Mutuality_Michelle is an artistic response by the artist Hannes Brunner and Katharina Forster. Based on my sculpture ‘Mutuality’, which is made from yellow plastic bags the film takes the viewer to an illegal landfill aka former LPG farm hall in Land Brandenburg.

Mutuality was created in 2017 in response to the ongoing refugee debates in Germany. Germany was known as a place of order and reliability. That time the majority of German households where given yellow bags for free to use for recycling their plastic waste. Which, in return, was labelled as to what belonged in the yellow bag and what doesn’t.
I got thousands of yellow bags given to by the state company to use for my artwork and to return back after use. I crocheted a creature along a pattern for a lion soft toy. A lion as a metaphor for everything exotic coming from the south, especially from beyond the Mediterranean.
A lion, king of the animals, trophy for hunters, highlight of every safari and one of the dangerous animals when met in the wild on ones own.
