Everyday Daylight

Live online performance, 2021

The media guerrilla Total Refusal meets with filmmaker and artist Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis in Los Santos, the digital city landscape of video game GTA V. Together they walk and drive through the digital metropolis and discuss their common practice: namely to intervene into contemporary video games, break their logic and thereby deconstruct the mechanisms of hyperreality. On their way, they visit city spots which were used as film sets for important works of game art.

Concept and text: Leonhard Müllner, Robin Klengel, Michael Stumpf in collaboration with Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis and Susanna Flock
