Material: table with various everyday objects, water basin, white pedestal, video camera on tripod, spotlight, video projection, 18' soundtrack with original fragments from animal documentaries hung together. Vögtli generates the images for the film, which is simultaneously projected onto the wall above her, to the soundtrack in front of the audience and the running camera. As in a puppet show, she animates the objects provided: cervelats and cipolatas represent sea lions and seals, spaghetti and a mop represent sea anemones, pepper mills large and small represent a praying mantis with a male, bedside lamps are chickens, butter with a shoehorn inserted is beaver, two taps are stalk-eyed flies, etc. The result is a documentary animal film on the aspect of fighting. Ten animal species are shown in conflict situations with different motifs. In the 'credits', the terms 'war' and 'peace' are explained. It is about a comparative view of the causes of conflicts and how they are carried out in the world of animals and humans. At the same time, the performance sheds light on the way people talk about animals in reports and how they interpret them.
