Join us on Wednesday, October 9, 12 - 13h, to inaugurate our new Billboard "POSTPONE IT" by Alumna Laura Tobler!
«POSTPONE IT» by Laura Tobler is the winning entry of the CIVIC BILLBOARD Competition 2024/25. The task was to answer the question: HOW TO FOOL THE FUTURE?
If we think of the future as decay, we fool it with a freezer. We play with time, bypass it, prolong it. Laura Tobler is fascinated by the idea of a huge freezer and curious, how the one of her flat-sharing community currently looks like.
Jury’s choice
Compared to the other submissions, Laura Tobler‘s entry shows a clear association to the question: How to fool the future? Also, as we are confronted with images all the time, online and offline, there seems to be a longing for a clear image. The egg led to a vivid dialogue where all nine jury members had something to feel and say about the egg. «It is naive. It looks like a comic. It is a very conceptual choice. It is really fooling us all. It is quite genius. It is so childish.» «It gives room for interpretation. It is so strange. Is it a positive or negative message?» «An egg is also hope. There are various ways of looking at it.» «People will not understand it but they will start speaking about it. Why the fuck is an egg at the school?» «We are a surprise egg. You never know what comes out of it.»
The inauguration will be accompanied by the Mobile Hot Dog Trading Post of Masterstudio Scenography students Marcial Koch & Connor Muething!
Hot dogs will be available for a fixed price OR as part of a bargained exchange. When bargaining, anything & everything can be proposed as long as it truly reflects how you value a hot dog. The results will be documented as part of an ongoing project.
