It had disappeared without a trace – one of the pears that the two artists put in front of the big window to watch birds. The other two pears were completely intact. This fact occupied Katharina Heubner and Susan Helen Miller in their two weeks at the residence and even found entry into their artistic works.

Which being takes away one of three pears and doesn't even touch the others? After a lot of speculation and even a search on the property for the remains of the pear the two decided that it could only have been aliens. So they built a rocket and a figure out of found materials to reenact the scene in a short film. For this they mixed different media: clay animation, drawings and sound recordings.

The filming wasn't planned at all, but developed by chance out of the situation. Actually, the two artists who know each other from their studies in Nürnberg and who have worked with each other before, had planned on painting and drawing, but the filming and experimenting was so much fun that they dedicated most of their time to it. So in the end they leave the solitude of Rietzer Berg with a successful experiment of cooperation in which they found out more about their strengths and weaknesses and developed a lot of new ideas for the future. And they will probably continue speculating for a while what really happened to the pear.
