Shund is a frame by frame visually reconstructed original trailer of the movie Pulp Fiction. The entire trailer was reconstructed in the studio, using the technique of chroma key and simple props, like toy cars and guns, cardboard, paper… Nika Oblak & Primož Novak acted all parts. For the backgrounds of scenes they constructed photo collages, composed from photos mostly found on the internet. In this way Oblak & Novak subject themselves to the influence of mass media and materialize a common fascination with celebrities. As actors of all parts in the trailer of a fictive, non existent film, they become fictional superstars. Visually reconstructed trailer becomes like a de-ja-vu of original, reflecting global pop culture and exploring the position of an individual as a passive consumer of monopolized, one way communicated media content.
