Press Release February 2011

Round-eyed Manga characters which have become human, clad in bright colours, reading, playing table tennis, eating – despite constant mishaps the actors keep smiling from one artificial comic-strip pose to the next. In a humorous fashion the video by Taiwanese Chi-Yu Liao thematises the breakdown of relationships and communication which has come to a standstill. It is one of the 46 works which will be shown at the Bonn Kunstmuseum between 15 April and 29 May 2011 as part of Videonale 13. The Videonale was founded in 1984 and is one of the oldest video art festivals in the world.
