Installation deals with the experience of daily playing online shooter games and reflects on the sensation of becoming desensitized to the violence in such a medium.

Bubblegum pink wrapped rifle, sparkling toylike pistols... Soft pink smoke swirls in the air of brightly lit digital hell. I used to be afraid. I spent many games camping in the toilet, trying to avoid enemies. Repeating to myself: “It’s just a game, it’s just a game…”. Now I run, I shoot, I win. It feels good and clean. It feels almost like nothing at all. Yet it felt more human when I was panicking and hiding from the enemies.
