The Current

Storyline

THE CURRENT metaphorically portrays how a perfectionist can experience criticism of her creative work: During a constructive feedback session, a little rabbit is put through its paces. As soon as negative criticism is heard, it plunges into a dark nightmare world. Due to the misinterpretation of what is said, it is tormented worse and worse by a fluid being. When the feedbacker asks his counterpart if everything is okay, it wakes up from its self-destructive whirlpool of thoughts: The rabbit is sitting on the pedestal again - breathing heavily, but unharmed.
