"DREAM TIME"
CD with two booklets in a large folder, 2005

The sun is shining and the sky is bright blue above the laughing children. Noses with freckles, little princesses and big robbers have gathered for picture. The boys and girls are wearing their underwear in sweet poses and present themselves so nicely before grandmother, mommy and daddy that the old underwear will have to be thrown away. How cute!
"Dream Time", the dreamy title of this advert for children's underwear gives this scene its friendly atmosphere and no cloud is to be seen on the horizon. The little children are so perfectly integrated in the concept of western humans, they seem to understand the game that they are playing in the underwear section of the mailorder catalogue. Not even at second glance he picture is disrupting its perfect surface. Thus began the collecting, cutting, transforming, reassembling of these materials, that penetrate our everyday life. So many people are involved in its creation, reproduction, cleaning and protection. The materials here collected are (almost) exclusively materials of major media (slogans, pictures, TV-materials), a direct expression and language of our everyday surroundings. Non of the materials come from closed circuits. They were collected while having breakfast, shopping or getting the mail, while driving or during holidays, before falling asleep or during sleep. These materials are a depiction of a concious act and state, not an accident and not an empty form written on a wall.

This project is a mirror and a distorted anthology of the 10 years of Column One`s existence. The materials are biographic snapshots and testimonials of the internal struggle with the "mediated", with this hallucination.
