| In this publication "Markowitsch draws on a series of videos that he made while travelling in Las Palmas, Peking, Moscow, Lucerne and Berlin. The short [films] show the manual work of fish and meat mongers at market. The camera focuses exclusively on the hands of these tradespeople in action. The animal products—pigs' ears, fish, beef, etc.—are chopped up, filleted and dressed with great dexterity. Markowitsch shows these videos in combination with photographs from bonsai and ikebana publications. His installative ensembles underscore the analogies between two distinct subject matters. They both involve civilised nature, plants and animals, processed by the human hand: bred, trimmed, cultivated to satisfy aesthetic or mercantile criteria." (from the essay by Christoph Doswald) | |
