Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 88)

- Posição 2004: your memories. Next?
- Mariana Manhães. Her installation involved a mirror across the room from a small tv-set. Most people didn't notice the mirror at first, because the video was so fantastically funny! It showed a teapot turning itself around quite fast, from one side to another, like it was standing on a turntable. You could see it was a sped up image. Anyway, it twisted like it was dancing or something, and it made a funny blah blah blah noise that sounded like a cartoon high-pitched unintelligible talk and laughter. A bit like the Laughing Gnome from the David Bowie song of the same name. It just made you laugh. People felt good. You could even hear it from other rooms during the show, and it made you laugh again. I don't know what the original idea was, but I loved it! Absolutely great fun!
