ONE EURO JOBBER-WINTER SERVICE ON DISPLAY

A showcase full of curiosities: behind glass, an artist sits on a chair, doing nothing. He waits. As soon as a passer-by inserts a Euro into the coin machine, the artist in his closed room performs winter services. Artificial snowflakes are blown into the air, fly against the windows and fall to the ground. For a short while, the whole scenery becomes alive. The artist is surrounded by a cloud of concentrated artificiality. In the same instant in which it breaks the minimalist austerity of its surroundings, it dissolves again. No one can interfere with this scene. Putting more money in the slot is the only way for the viewer to influence how long the artist will work.
