Video-performance One heart for Kriens

The inhabitants of the village of Kriens in Switzerland lamented that for the outside observer it is completely unclear where Kriens begins. And they asked someone to creatively mark the entrance to their little town.
Looking at the map of Kriens I noticed that on the edges of the village run motorways and highways. The roads, interlacing with one another, create a pattern analogous to a cross section of the living organism’s main organ – the heart. The shapes of the heart, the heart chambers and the main artery, the aorta, are visible on the map. I considered this motorway-aorta-bridge as the natural entrance to Kriens. Under the bridge of the motorway-aorta between the roads I staged a performance which, because of the analogy with the heart, I called One Heart for Kriens. In this performance I cooked on a gas grille cutlets made out of a cow’s heart for lunch and ate them with bread, ketchup and mustard.
