Falsnaes takes the
implicit charm and appeal of pop music and sees how
that translates into motivating social action. The
star of his own music video inside a toy-size house,
the audience accompanying with synchronized dancing,
and singing his his own pop song (the content a
paradigm of generic cheesy innuendo and teenage heart
ache) made up of the pieced-together lines from
popular chart hits. From cutesy collaboration to a
call for social action: the house spray painted, torn
down, painted with slogans, paraded to the side of a
main road and rebuilt. (Paul
Teasdale, Frieze magazine)
