RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co)
molnau (the sculpture), 2005
Video projection
In the video molnau (the sculpture) we see RELAX building a scarecrow. A few children observe the goings-on, partly out of curiosity, partly out of skepticism and they scream: “and we’re paying for that with our taxes?”
Marie-Antoinette Chiarenza and Daniel Hauser restaged a situation with molnau (the sculpture) that they experienced when constructing a piece in a public space. The core of translating this into a narrative video are the children who, as involuntary ambassadors of the adult world, are transmitting back to the artists values they have already internalized. |
