The Tiger comes on the Dog

The tiger has just arrived from a distant land in Berlin. He is very surprised to see that people here often treat the dogs better than their fellow human beings. The dogs go to the barber, there are dog kennels, dog vacation, dog runners, dog restaurants, dog playgrounds and even a lot of dog paradises. People cuddle romantically on park benches with their dogs, kisses in the sunset, and many a dog even has a fur coat with cashmere collar, four lined shoes, socks, diapers and his own stroller.

No one feels sorry for the tiger, so that he would like to become a dog, too. He goes to dog psychologist, dog homoeopath, dog-hairdresser, trying everything dog-possible. Will he be able to become a pet in the dog fur and find his luck?

In the workshop with a group of children, we visited various dog places, conducted interviews with dog experts and dog lovers and collected material. The material was further processed into a doghouse town in the Jugendkunstschule Charlottenburg and exhibited as an installation on the Mierendorffplatz.
