The project „Eternal chat“ consists of several installations and photo prints. They all deal with different aspects of daily, but timeless and intercultural communication and emotions. The core of each individual installation consists of an original, antique machine mainly from the 50ies and 60ies like one-armed bandits, vending machines, gas pumps and gum dispensers. They have been bought at auctions in the USA and transported overseas. Once in Europe, they have been mechanically revised and combined with graphic art, music, film clips and audio records. Allmachines are interactive by pulling a handle or pressing a button.
