"the Trauma queen" exhibition in Athens 20 september 2007.

 

 

Because i'm worth it is an installation that consisted of video, slideshow and sound. In the video you see Oskar Lindström in slow motion trying to seduce the viewer, whit the help of heavy make up and a hairdryer. The slideshow is of hands swishing through the air and trying to applaud. The two slide projector carousels are unsynchronised and therefor the image is constantly changing.

The sound in the installation is the sound of the hairdryer, applauds and the slide-projectors. The hairdryer sounds like a jet engine at far distance, low and slow like the video. You can hear applauds from two speakers. The sound of applauds is like the slideshow unsynchronised, so you never hear the same clap in both speakers at the same time. The sound of hairdryer and applauds are accompanied by the sound of the slide- projectors’ fans and pictures changing franticly.
