Mirko Borscht’s contribution resembles an experiment: a table, two chairs, two people. Two people who (might) have a great deal to say to each other, but neither understands the language of the other. In this respect, their two dogs have an easier time because they do not need to speak German. They just sniff at each other. So their owners copy them and try to understand what the other wants, or doesn’t want. And why neither of them can come unstuck although both want to.

With: Alexander Kluth and Mohammad Khalkhalian and their dogs
