I’m Available. And You ? 

Video Series

  • in an adjoining cinema style projection room replete with cinema style seating with circular entry and exit, the series of 19 video shorts play on an infinite loop projected in a darkened space.

    Randomly every few minutes in between each video a brief interruption occurs with a voice over playing out a series of I’m Available. And You? slogans in the dark, followed by uplighting (similar to adverts that play in cinemas preceding a feature film) and then a quick fading back to the dark and next video.

However, unlike real publicity ads, or TV commercials designated for the selling of products; the only object of consumption reflecting scenarios are based on ‘availability’ themes : love, work, sex, family, complicity, solitude, fantasy.
