Cuentos Chinos (Chinese Stories) by Ralph Kistler

Cuentos Chinos (Chinese Stories) is an instalación developed for a space of around 60 m2. It is inspired by the traditional Chinese Shadow Theatre. In this instalation the "actors" are cheap chinese products which were bought in the popular "all for one Euro" stores.
The products are connected with around 110 motors, solenoids, fans etc and distributed over 18 small theaters with 36x40 cm base. These sceneries are standing on top of Overhead projectors so that their moving shadows will be cast to the walls of the space. The visitor will be part of an overall machinery which is composed by these cheap, often funny and pastiche products. The more abstract idea of a globalized economy will be focused to an absurd theatre. The title "Cuentos Chinos", is the spanish word for "tall story" or "whopper" and gives the work a double meaning.
The work can be seen until 19th of july 2009 at TEA, Tenerife, Espacio de las Artes, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. (closed on mondays)
