Die drei neuen Arbeiten aus einer Serie mit historischen Telephonapparaten setzen das spezielle Interesse des Künstlerduos am narrativen Potential von Träumen fort. Hebt man die Hörer der Apparate ab, erzählt die Stimme der Künstlerin in unnachahmlicher Weise aus ihren Träumen. In filmszeneartigem Erzählstil wie etwa in ‚Opened like a film (crap)‘, vom Geschlechtsverkehr mit Schweinen auf einer Party in ‚Writer’s Festival (penis)‘ und von irrealen „Drehmomenten“ in ‚I can’t remember (world is turning)‘.

The three new works from a series with vintage telephones continue to engage with the artist duo’s special interest in the narrative potential of dreams. When a receiver is picked-up the female artist’s voice relates from her dreams in an earie manner. ‚Opened on like a film set (crap)‘ uses an explicitly film-like narrative style, ‚Writer’s festival (penis)‘ tells of sleeping with pigs at a party, and there are unreal scenarios where men swing speakers in ‚I can’t remember (world turning)‘.
