This interactive video installation changes depending on the distance of the closest viewer. From afar, the image of a meowing kitten appears, but then changes into a roaring tiger as the viewer approaches. Of course, many viewers are taken by surprise. This piece illustrates the range of feline temperament, much like the range of curiosity and fear experienced by the viewers themselves.
