Bear Man and Alice

Abner Preis in SYB, final presentation

11 jul 2009

Visual artist and story teller Abner Preis has been working on a new video work titled BEAR MAN AND ALICE. The American, also known for his impassioned work drive uses both miniature as well as life size characters and backdrops together with drawings and special made objects, some of which are made of rubbish. During his stay in SYB Preis selected his actors amongst his guests and found them within the local community of Beetsterzwaag. The production of his work appeared to be one large interactive performance.
