Panda Moonwalk or Why Meng Meng Walks Backwards
Kerstin Honeit
Sometimes, it’s two steps backwards. Berlin Zoo’s multi-million-dollar investment refuses to cooperate. In a cross between short film and performance in the public space, Kerstin Honeit combines elements of found footage films, reportage and music videos with humorous, queer re-enactments of interviews with passers-by to create a counter-narrative. Panda Meng Meng’s moonwalk turns into an act of rebellion.

She focuses on the politics of the (film) voice and on how the voice as a queer event within moving images can upset the gaze regimes of the dominant culture. Kerstin Honeit.
