Proben A-K. Over a few week period of exploring the supermarkets, analysing their structure and positioning of products, Jochen Schmith staged falls on the so called hot spots. Those are often marked by the product towers and are also there to leade the streams of shoppers into the right direction. The reaction of the customers led to the creation of so called “chaoscommunities”, which were right away occupyed by trying to restore the order.
Urban Exercise On Formation. This work by Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber is based on the pictorial content of a photographic glass plate negative of the 1950s, multiplied by computer and arranged in “formations”. It speaks of the need to study and understand the formations of the external world and the need to abolish the myth of the “community of inner selves”.

All Employees is a project for which Yosuha Okón went to all the “Carl’s Jr” (a chain of fast food restaurants) in Los Angeles and shot brief videos of each one of the employees presenting him/herself behind the counter. The final result is a video in which, one by one, all the employees get layered one on top of the other until many levels get constructed creating an abstract mass.
Sudden Death is a set of five photographs taken at a gated community in the middle of the tropical forests of Oaxaca. Tomasa, a Chatina healer, poses as if she were playing paddle-tennis amongst the contrasting greenery of the foreign tennis courts and the local vegetation.
In the work Connecting, Victoria Skogsberg recreates a popular ‘psi’ experiment that tests the possibility of receiving messages from the subconscious. In the ‘real’ experiment the ‘receiver’ is situated in a sound proof room, seated on a comfortable reclining chair wearing headphones and large black glasses. White noise is played continually through the headphones and the glasses, equipped with stroboscopic lights, are programmed to emit red flashes into the eyes which allow the body to relax. Skogsberg’s re-creation contains similar props to the real experiment but takes place in what seems like a domestic environment excluding the apparatus and technical equipment we would assume to belong in such a place. Her image suggests that with the right state of mind and a few simple tools it may be possible for anyone to connect to a higher realm.
“Suitcase House” by Gary Chang: The dwelling is vertically stacked in layers. Although non-hierarchical in its unoccupied form, the space becomes alive by reacting to the specifics of its inhabitants. The space transforms itself with the help of mobile elements integrated with the architecture. These hidden functions are contained in the bottom stratum of the building. A single volume metamorphoses into a sequence of rooms, and concealed amenities reveal themselves, differentiating the spaces.
