\u201eEin Elefant ist in unserem Kindergarten!\u201c ruft das kleine M\u00e4dchen, als es im Eingangsbereich des Hauses f\u00fcr Kinder an einer gro\u00dfen, wandf\u00fcllenden Fotografie vorbeih\u00fcpft. Es ist, als sei ein Traum wahr geworden: Ein lebensgro\u00dfer Elefant trottet entlang der Au\u00dfenfassade im Garten der Einrichtung und steht nun im lichtdurchfluteten Foyer: Das K\u00fcnstlerinnenduo Clea Stracke und Verena Seibt hat die Fotografie eines Elefanten aus dem Zoo so in das Hintergrundmotiv des Kindergartens montiert, dass man auf den ersten Blick den Eindruck hat, der Elefant sei wirklich hier gewesen.<\/p>\n
Doch der zweite, genaue Blick zeigt, dass sich die beiden K\u00fcnstlerinnen der Technik der Collage bedient haben, denn die einzelnen Teile dieses gro\u00dfen Fotos erscheinen wie ausgerissen, eine \u00e4sthetische Vorgehensweise, wie sie eben auch Kinder gern verwenden. Dar\u00fcber hinaus existiert zwischen dem Foto des Elefanten und dem Foto der Hausfassade eine leichte perspektivische Verzerrung, doch die Illusion funktioniert. Selbst die Spiegelung des vorbeigehenden Kindes im hinter Glas kaschierten Bild erh\u00f6ht noch die Vorstellung, selbst in dieser Szene anwesend zu sein.<\/p>\n
Diese erfundene Begebenheit, angesiedelt zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit, wird begleitet und erweitert durch ein gro\u00dfes Bilderbuch, das vermeintlich das R\u00e4tsel l\u00f6st und ebenfalls in Form von Fotomontagen den Weg des Elefanten von der Vorderseite des Hauses durch den Garten bis zur gro\u00dfen T\u00fcr \u201edokumentiert\u201c. Der konkrete Alltag der Kinder vermischt sich mit der dargestellten und fotografischen Bildrealit\u00e4t, so dass das vorbeih\u00fcpfende M\u00e4dchen ganz sicher ist: \u201eEin Elefant ist in unserem Kindergarten!\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cAn elephant\u2019s in our kindergarten\u201d cries the little girl as she bounces past a large, wall-sized photograph in the entryway to the Haus f\u00fcr Kinder. It\u2019s like a dream come true: a life-sized elephant trots along the exterior fa\u00e7ade of the kindergarten\u2019s garden and now stands in the foyer flooded with light. The two artists Clea Stracke and Verena Seibt has used a photograph of an elephant in the zoo as a background motif for the kindergarten, mounting it on the wall so that, at first glance, it looks like the elephant is really there.<\/p>\n
Yet a second, closer look reveals that the duo have actually used collage technique, because the individual pieces of the large photo look as if they\u2019ve been torn out\u2014an aesthetic approach much favored by children. Moreover, even though there is a slight distortion of perspective between the photo of the elephant and the photo of the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade, the illusion works. Even the reflection of the child passing by, seen in the image hidden by the glass, heightens the idea of actually being in the scene.<\/p>\n
This invented occurrence, something between dream and reality, is accompanied and expanded by a large picture book that supposedly solves the mystery and also uses photomontage to \u201cdocument\u201d the elephant\u2019s path from the front of the building, through the garden, all the way to the big door. The children\u2019s everyday reality blends with the reality of the photographic images so that the girl bounding by is absolutely certain that \u201can elephant is in our kindergarten!\u201d<\/p>\n
