The face of a man wearing an orange and red chequered hip-hop camouflage cap and a thick fur-lined hood stares at us with piercing blue eyes and stubbles – from the front, constantly, almost aggressively.
Sweating and in a kind of hysterical staccato and a cool mixture of slang one is more familiar with from music videos, he tells us about how he goes about buying a certain high-tech hardware which is not further identified.
With almost sectarian, preacher-like vividness, he speaks about exhausting 'work' of consumption, the daily confusion and the paranoid moments in today's shrines of consumption. Via the meticulous, obsessive, nightmarish search for a product, he becomes completely caught up in the attempt to attribute something mystical, almost pseudo-religious, to making a purchase decision.
In his video and photo series like Red Light, White Sands, Plack Palms (2002), Stefan Panhans addresses forms of self-production and the seductions of the film and commodity worlds. His work o.T. was shown at the 4th Werkleitz Biennial real[work] (2000).
