Bed Making As An Artform
Beds with flat quilts on them are old-fashioned and boring. Beds should be made with artistic flair, and it was here that Munni intervened and made this more of an art installation than a bed.
You can't see her but the quilt lines are indubitably her work - there is no other Bettkünstlerin* who can give a quilt this kind of ironic - but understated - dynamism. You can see influences of Frida Katzelo and perhaps at a stretch, Gabriele Miauter.
Alternatively we can just enjoy Munni having a duvet day. She likes a snuggle does our Munni. And she's quite right. I find that if you get up then people have the expectation that you're going to work. And where's the fun in that?**
*Bettkünstlerin is a new word - 1:1 translated "female bed artist". That -in ending means that you know it is female, the male version would be Bettkünstler. I'm not sure I've coined it 100% correctly - would Bettenkünstlerin be better? I don't think so because that's "female beds artist" and it looks clumsy.
**Lots of fun actually. A fair amount of stress as well, but there are laughs to be had.
