Bizarre, yet not vulgar

Exhibition - Prince Pückler’s World
5 min. 1-channel HD video, 6-channel audio, 2006

Using the dramatisation of a duel, we pass through the stations of Pückler’s life. The scene of the duel is montaged with images of Pückler’s inner life. Through the visualisation of Pückler’s thoughts, where various moments of his life are relived, the viewer has an insight into the prince’s adventures, provocations and flirtatiousness.
