Lyon - France, one of the most outstanding Areas where one could find frog legs and other frog related specialities on the lunch table and in the cards of the restaurants ..
The performance was an part of the exhibition "Blaue Blume" - to redefine the idea of the german romantic picture with contemporary art nowadays..

The Video for the Frog-performance was shoot near Lyon on a small Lake in the Lyonaise Mountains, with a Microphon, a Speaker - both on stands, cables. recording devices.

During the performance one day later, the audience was not shure, if this video is an real live stream in real time or an pre-recorded movie. Durin the live performance sounds of german frogs where used and mixed with the french frogs. Further this sounds moved slowly into digital distortion and more fieldrecordings of under water sounds. Towards the end more digital frequenz modulated sounds are added to the composition..
