Right where Thai massage shops line up in Bangkok, the German artist duo katze und krieg opens up a pop-up store with an alternative offer of massage: THE METAMORPHAGE - A massage that is supposed to transform its clients! Passing tourists and locals are invited to experience this special kind of massage.
Regarding THE METAMORPHAGE, katze und krieg adapt the business idea of the Thai massage, but not its form nor content. As artists they are interested in the transformative potential of massage. How can a massage fantastically change the person being massaged? How does a massage become a metamorphosis? What kind of corporal interventions are necessary for this? What kind of rituals and which magic is needed?
