Day

TV-Soap, Berlin 2003, video, four episodes, 30 min.
each /// AND /// "Le Ping Pong d’amour",
part 1 ("subsistence and subjonctiv"), by
Team PingPong, Munich/Berlin 2002, video, 94 min. (4
episodes)
The soap 24 Stunden sind kein Tag wants to re-politicize
the ordinary TV-format and is interested
in the possible drop out variations for individuals:
drop out of the economicizing of all areas
life, out of the repressively tolerated pseudo-self-employment
or the prescribed role assignment
in the supermarket of feelings. The fixed installation "Wohnbühne" (living
stage) in the Prater,
extension of the “Volksbühne” (peoples
stage) at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin, offers the
ideal place for the TV-soap. The four episodes show
the search for concepts of living in the era
globalization. "Here people pick each other up
like dogs and explore each other for their
individual survival strategies." The four episodes
were broadcast in 3Sat in January 2004. |
