SHORT MESSAGE

This work illustrates a boy pointing at the visitor with a remote control. The girl is absorbedly reading her short message. My picture captures the moment when the boy wants to call the attention of the girl to the actual programme, namely the visitor, but the message is more important for her.
During the presentation of this picture (13th of June 2006) I made a record of the visitors’ facial reactions while they had their first sight of it. This video will be played (and have been played) all day long opposite to the picture in the exhibitions.
