Paradiseator

2:29min, 2014

The experimental video works with nearly 500 images referring to stereotypes of paradise.
The yearning associated with this allegory of a happy and carefree life is the ideal background to promote consumerism in a world of experience and lifestyle.

The Paradiseator is a machine that mixes all ingredients together. The supposed paradise is torn to pieces, dissected and finally reassembled in a weird way. An ambiguous overstimulation with surreal images questions the creation of consumer needs and their influence on the perception of the world.
