Homeless people are often locked out from the society. Especially in shoppingmalls and shoppingstreets they often get displaced and are segregated from the rest of the world. To demonstrate this unfairness I closed away the sleeping place of a homeless person with the logos of the consumers-society. La Ruleta de la Suerte is a Spanish quiz show in which candidates have to guess right adages by mention single characters. A slightly dressed woman has to turn around the right guessed characters for fake, actually all the characters are generated by a computer. We manipulated the video so the blackboard finally shows the sentence: Matad el Sexismo en la Television – Stop Sexism on Television Cutouts of banknote-portraits from eight different currencies.
In Still Life 2001-2010 invites you to create your own still life by arranging any or all of the 38 objects onscreen. “When someone completes their own still life using In Still Life 2001-2010 it becomes their own artwork,” says artist John Baldessari. “It’s not mine. It’s theirs. Still lifes are about the fleeting things in life. Each object has a symbolic meaning attached to it. My interest in still lifes goes back to beginning art courses and having to endlessly paint from them. There was always a room where the instructors stored all the props. And the one prop I hated was the cow skull, which an old instructor of mine, a Georgia O’Keeffe fan, used to always trot out. But of course the typical objects are things like the guitar, the wine bottle, the loaf of bread, which are not so interesting. Even now it’s very hard for me to look at one of those typical Braque or Picasso still lifes and not want to rearrange it!

Pied La Biche / Sans titre (Work in Progress) from Dédale Paris on Vimeo. Projet d’intervention dans l’espace public sur le territoire de la Cité Universitaire Internationale de Paris dans le cadre du programme SMART CITY.

Refait from Pied La Biche on Vimeo. “Refait” is a remake of the football WorldCup match between France and Germany (Seville, Spain, 1982). Shot by Pied La Biche in Villeurbanne (France), every aspect of the fifteen last minutes of the match was carefully reconstructed : players, positions, gestures, intensity, drama etc. It consists in shifting the traditional game area into the urban environment. Each sequence takes place in one or several locations and then the city temporarily becomes the lab for unsual experiments. The soundtrack is made up of the original commentaries mixed with interviews of the audience recorded during the shooting. Pied la biche website
