Human Cactus
Videoperformance 
2012
The artist shapes a cactus mimeticaly. The dress, occupied with 4000 toothpicks, deceptively appears as a defensive desert plant in the video performance. There must be something human-like at a cactus, otherwise the artist would not be able to pretend beeing a cactus. If the cactus would be able to, it would probably look for water, like the artist does, because it is the striving for water that made the cactus what it is.
