“Bella
Angora vs. Christian Falsnaes” is an
attempt to treat the
concepts of rivalry,
powerplay, jealousy, competition and egoistic
ambition. Not only in relation to art
and the art world, where those
concepts are constantly present as distinct set of social
patterns, but
furthermore in society as such and in particular contemporary culture.
The “battle”, the competition and
the determination to be “number
one” has become
the underlying foundation for a long range of
activities all included by the term “culture”.
Casting-shows
where
youngsters are competing to become pop stars,
hip hop style dance- and
rap-battles, art-ranking and art-prizes, sport tournaments
and
computer-games are obvious examples.
