Sound installation

Summary: Two metal benches, landscaping plants borrowed from a nursery / an audio installation concealed in the plants and consisting of seven phrases/moans, summing up the state of mind of a melancholic and/or doubter: „are you okay / well then let´s just forget it / if you think so“ etc.

The wall structure behind the billboard will be seemingly once again made visible. With this purpose, I digitally processed photographs of the setting of each billboard to the point that they simulated the presumable background.

Presentation:
As 30 second stills between the commercial breaks on electronic billboards in Berlin (10 advertising spaces/centre of Berlin), transmitted to Hamburg, Hannover, Dortmund, and Cologne, as well as digital prints / placarded.
