Considered a landmark work of independent pastel animation, Mond und Tiger is known for its dreamlike aesthetic. Set to a hypnotic, fluid sound score, the film visually manifests like a shifting mirage or a hallucinatory vision across a desert landscape.

Consists of fractal structures with some kind of natural look and movements. These fractal systems were created for 3 screens, in order to morph, continue and interact on the neighbour screen - with a relative system from another view/camera, like a more macroscopic or microscopic view of a varied system, with a system of different material or quality, like water, or some stylized patterns within the system. The images were made to interact and communicate with each other as well as with the people and the surrounding. Therefore it is silent, it is meant to screen with the sounds and atmosphere of the screening place.

A frowning, inflexible queen rejects all attempts to cheer her up, including food, music, and flowers, which particularly anger her. She finds happiness only when she discovers a test tube to grow a double of herself. Her protégée, whom she has cared for, grows wings and flies away, leaving the queen in despair. In her anguish, she destroys the throne and her house. The women later meet on the highway, where the queen shrinks to nothingness, her ego diminished, as her protégée continues alone.

On a lonely full moon night, shadows, animal figures, and people gather in a room—a dreamlike narrative about a detective, murder, and victims.

A couple of women meet at a café, where one talks incessantly about the men in her life in a heavy Bavarian dialect, while her so-called best friend sits silently, surrounded by smoke. The conversation is superficial and stilted, highlighted by the exaggerated and caricatured animation style. Only when the talkative woman leaves to meet her new boyfriend does the silent one speak, ordering a beer. The scene critiques the societal expectation that women should focus their conversations solely on men, often ignoring the discomfort of others.
