GLOBALORES

I Make You Look SuccessfulI Make You Look SkinnyI Make You Look PrettyI Make You Look RichGlobalorettes (SALE)Brands and advertisement are everywhere. Constantly telling people what to buy and how to live their lives. Steadily pointing out what is good and what is needed for a daily living. Globalisation is advertisement's little helper. On one hand making it easier for consumers to feel at home wherever they go, on the other hand melting cultural diversity and identity to one big marketing-blob. The individual starts to identify with advertisement ideals that are, most of the time, only made of empty promises. The Globalores-Series picks up on those empty promises. The LED-Screens act as advertisement billboards that attract the audience with images and symbols that stand for certain statuses in today's society. They promise the wearer to make them look smart, successful, pretty, rich, sexy or skinny, as soon as the LED lights flash up. The screens are surrounded by insects and flowers that seem to underline those promising life-enhancing messages. On a second glance though, it becomes obvious that there is a different side to them: they are carnivorous plants and insects. Just as advertisement slogans, they attract their prey with luring measures to finally catch it in their traps. The pieces are meant to show the two sides of the advertisement-coin. On one side, making it easier to make decisions and living a comfortable life, on the other side one might start questioning whether every stone that sparkles is really a diamond.
