Die Vier von der Tankstelle
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.
