"Nature and man are inextricably linked. Humans and animals live in parallel worlds. In the film I portray the life of a fox. The fox lies in its den and dreams that it sees people eating at a picnic area and that there is garbage it can eat.
All the animals in the film die because of

Sound: VOICE RAZOR"The film is about being unemployed. To feel that no one needs one. We see him in the job centre, where the message is that there is no work to be had. On the street he looks at girls. He goes to the tanning bed to get a nice tan. Here he has a meltdown and turns into a worm. He crawls home and licks his wounds.”

Text from museum:
Mette Vangsgaard’s “Poliphilius’ Tree” has now been hung in the museum’s new building. The installation of fruit lampes is a present from the New Carlsberg Foundation. Her materials, techiques and style relate to the art nouveau - whose wizard of glass, Émile Gallé, in Paris of the 1890’s fascinated the art world. Vangsgaard has created a smilier fusion of art and nature using ceramics for the light fittings, textiles for the cords and glass for the bulbs – but in a present day finish. With Jason Bengtsson, @glassblow, she has been experimenting with an array of coloured glass relating to the Tiffany workshop. This present day artwork will be in a dialogue with the museum’s collections of furniture, paintings, ceramics, drawings and sculptures from around 1900.

"The film is about a small farm that cannot run around. The farmer sleeps on the sofa and dreams of plants and animals. He is friends with the animals and they tease him by taking his hat. He dreams that he has a wife and they sit and eat together with the animals. He wakes up from his dream. The fridge is empty, except for a rotten sausage. He has no money in his pocket. The farm is empty. No animals. No wife.
