The video installation deals with the unconscious psychological effects of the seductiveness of glossiness. It employs the elements of advertisement and satisfying videos of the internet. I built real objects and staged them in idyllic, commercial-like locations of Los Angeles. The footage of the archaic desert lets the objects appear technical sovereign and pure, like in a car commercial. The central video piece is flanked by two large, sandblasted panes of glass, behind the glass there are two rotating prints like in the advertisement in metro stations.
