Ordet is pleased to present Die Vier von der Tankstelle, an installation by Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys. The show is titled after a 1930 German film operetta. Any impression of breezy entertainment, however, is dispelled by the intermittent tune coming from a black sedan: parts of Beethoven’s Nineth and Seventh Symphonies recorded by Wilhelm Furtwängler echo eerily in the space, as the car’s lights switch on. The Mercedes Benz and its occupants, four uniformed mannequins of hybridized German Shepherds, are not of the fairytale variety. Haunting, motionless but ravenous, they look on the hunt but also on the run. Their motives may not be spelled out, but no disclaimer or warning is needed to recognize they’re not done.
