The premise for a developing human being is the dominance of pleasure and the need to do forbidden things. At the same time, this premise is attached to the tendency for the slow self-destruction. Basic needs and addictions are interwoven, which reflects our need for a shelter from the surrounding world. Installed in a shop-front display window, the photographs and videos focus on the motivation behind addictions and its consequences in the physical and mental state of a human.
