Mr. Kitty is part of De Beer's Hans und Grete, the artist's latest large-scale two-channel video installation. Stephen Hilger writes of the project, "In Hans und Grete, fictional acts of terror are presented through the lens of teenage pop culture obsession. The video brims with allusions to those subcultures in which youth movements are especially fluent: horror movies, video games, psychedelic rock, metal and goth." The set pieces' hand-made quality is a typical example of the artist's use of stylistic fakery, which she uses to portray the often-violent interior world of the American teen, to great effect.

Mr. Kitty becomes a character in itself when it is blown up to gigantic size and placed in the room in which the audience watches Hans und Grete. Its co-stars are the other stuffed animals pulled out of the bedroom sets and also made extra-large. As the viewer sits, sprawls or cuddles with the large pillows and watches the progression of the film, he or she is engulfed even further in the world that De Beer creates. Mr. Kitty becomes a real-life personality, as well as the bedroom prop incorporated into the film's narrative, and another layer of meaning is created; another gap in 'reality' is bridged. The relationship between 'real' and 'fake' is questioned as one sits with Mr. Kitty and studies the film.
