A bench is placed in the middle of the installation where one has the best view of the three monitors. There are instructions on the bench to record oneself using the remote control, answering my question, “how are you?”.

Aug 6th, Dec 21st 2007 and May 8th 2008, I asked random people on the streets of Berlin, “how are you?”. The results were recorded onto video tape and condensed into 3 videos. These were looped and shown on monitors.
