My graduation assignment is about the factuality (reality) of news. For me, a newspaper always was the most reliable resource for news. But with a closer look into the issues in a newspaper, I soon discovered that most of the "news" wasn't factual, but subjective. I started to think why I thought a newspaper was so very reliable and realized the reliability comes from the grid. When you take the grid away and look at the articles, the whole context is gone. It becomes what news in reality is, chaos.
I constructed an installation with the grid from one newspaper, that remained after every single article was cut out. I placed the empty grid on the wall and I divided the single texts into three categories: title (red thread), plain text (blue thread) and image (yellow thread). I stuck every thread on the original article’s place in the grid and from there let it hang on the ground. With the remaining cuttingsI created a red, blue and yellow book.
