SHOWCASE, the completion of the REALITY trilogy, critically plays with the phenomenon of reality shows and the entertainment that is closely connected to it. In this case, the central video, which is set in an immersive setting, becomes a speculative satire on the press conference. The audience is situated in the role of fans, but at the same time finds itself under the fire of flashbacks. It is the harsh spotlights and camera flashes that are the dominant visual element of the installation. They refer to exhibitionism, but at the same time to discomfort – to the feelings that the participant of any reality show has to reckon with. Everything here will be disguised in the cloak of a small/big show that must have been extremely expensive, or at least appears so.
