In her exhibition "MONSTER CHETWYND. A CAT IS NOT A DOG", Monster Chetwynd transforms the rotunda of the SCHIRN into a parallel world with oversized cat and monster heads. In the film, she talks about the inspiration and history behind the works, material experiments and the role of humor.
With her oversized "Heads", the British performance and installation artist Monster Chetwynd has installed three walk-in installations in the SCHIRN rotunda, which mark the transition into a magical parallel world in the form of monumental cat and monster heads. The artist draws inspiration for her dazzling performances and interactive installations from a rich treasure trove of pop culture and art history. These cross-references in her work are always accompanied by the humor typical of the artist. In the video interview accompanying the exhibition, we talk to her about the story behind the "Heads" and her various sources of inspiration - from heavy metal and the musical "Cats" to surrealism.
