Computer animation with sound/ 1920×1080, 2017, 4 min 30 sec
On a black background, from left to right, an animated landscape of letters, signs and words is revealed at a constant camera speed. Some words are readable, such as “fuck”, “fucking”, “wishes_he”, “excited”, “shopping”, “love” and others, and according to some sources* these are among the most prevalent English words in Facebook. The text is made up of staples, the material any office worker and indeed almost any person today works with. At some point, letters and words fall into strokes, sticks, stitches, etc and chaos is overflowing the screen at the end of the animation.
