Artist Dream, 2000

Nowadays, an artist is not only an artist but also a manager, a salesman, a PR person and more. The multiple roles and multitasking involved in AVL-Ville gave rise to the romantic drawing Artist’s Dream. Instead of taking care of sketches all day long, accompanied by multiple women and organic food. As his designs take shape on paper, they are immediately realized by slaves. No longer is there any difference between the designing stage and the building stage; the blueprint is concurrent with the final construction. In this dream, the romantic artist designs a biogas installation while the slaves build and operate the unit: the toilet, the pump, the digester, the septic tank and the green filter.
