exkremente aus porzellan
video, sound, 22 min, 2006
“In 'Exkremente aus Porzellan' Hennig chooses to have jodels (folkloric German songs) for soundtrack whilst she conscientiously vomits to create a kitsch pattern reminiscent of the doilies in Frankfurt am Main. In this piece, the artist’s command of the medium is particularly striking. As a result of the video played backward, she seems to be producing victuals with her viscera, to be shitting through her mouth. Trashy Grethel out of a discarded version of Grimm's story, she playfully perverts the cliches of the 'good traditional German girl', her blond plaits dripping with whipped cream.”
Coline Milliard, 2007
