Selectors' Comments:
Steve Bishop's volcano looks like the stuff of baking soda and vinegar Boys' Life goes to Switzerland, but the timing is all. Just when you thought the world was safe for postcard recreation, 'Pop' blows the weasel.
Artist's Statement:
Using an unbroken 'shot' of the familiar Paramount Mountain under an improbable attack, 'We are Made of Dreams...' humorously plays with the concept of second-hand experience through the mediated image. The video's utilisation of 'special effects' is paradoxical, as it assumes the position, as an action-based visual simulation, of the very spectacle it seeks to criticise.
