The video „Foamywater“ makes use of a tutorial format. The title is taken from menus of a landscape software program. Chapters of instructions for the rendering of an open sea – beginning with the area of one’s own desk – are ultimately unsuccessful.

The computer desk becomes a three-dimensional installation, quoting the spatial parameters of the rendering software and its inherent language. The office-box ceiling of the exhibition space is deconstructed and the panels’ backs are marked with the atmosphere titles of the landscape software. The plates are placed in the room while the screen flows out of the backlit ceiling – an underwater scenery.
