I cannot sleep, get out of bed and go downstairs into the living room. My parents are watching current events and have me sit down on the couch between them until I calm down…
The installation discusses media identity and the influence of media events on the physical living space. 30 repeating video sequences show a fraction of news broadcasts. Each of the subjective selected clipping represents an event and a year of my life. The single sequences are undecipherable through shortness and selection and take up a subordinate role to rhythm and repetition. The dissembled tube TVs are displayed as objects in a three-dimensional metal construction of an apparent archive situation.
