A tale about the quest for a giant carrot and an imaginary three-headed monster.
Zanahoria is a lecture about the proverbial carrot one holds in front of a donkey in order to make it move. For the follow-up of their cult-hit Chuck Norris doesn't sleep, he waits…(2007), Bryssinck & Peeters (at that time still with Danai Anesiadou) went searching for the 'ultimate image'. This image would on one hand have to represent the trio and on the other be the perfect translation of their wildest imagination. They asked other artists to guide them on this quest, hoping that in this way unexpected and unpredictable elements would steal into their work, in order to surprise themselves. 'Zanahoria' light-headedly tells the story of this quest; a crazy oscillation between hopeful expectation and disappointment, between hilarity and despair, between truth and fiction, and between the dullness of reality and untainted imagination.
