BACKGROUND
INTERVIEWS
EXAMPLE
Two-piece series of interviews, in: www.zeitgenossen.com/phantasma
The attempt of designing the present makes
phantasms of the past meet with fictions of the future. The
quest for individual power can be seen as a phenomenon linking
the two. In this context, innumerable parallel universes exist
in our day and age alone, because depending on the point of
view of the observer, the world that reveals itself will be one
or the other. What are the phantasms that pertain to Antiquity?
The myth surrounding the cradle of the Western world might be
interesting, but there is much more about it. The series points
to a Egyptian-Greco-Roman continuum (Samsonow 2004) , building
a network of knowledge on the World Wide Web.
