Call of Cuteness
Brenda Lien
»While we watch the ›cat fail‹ of the day from a safe vantage point, all that remains invisible in this neo-liberal nightmare catches up with us. The cat’s body is consumed, exploited and controlled. The fear of pain is greater than the will for freedom. Objects are fetishised and subjects are made into things – quantifiable and ready for use. They are the natural commodity for a luxury of which they are not even aware. We are here, because you were there – and waste is disposed of in the sea. In the end, the bodies reveal the causes and effects of power, lust and hate.»
