O projecto é Holandês, assinado por Oberon Kok [e a sua Home Made] e embora já não seja recente nunca foi conhecido entre nós. Trata-se de uma proposta conceptual cujo objectivo é chamar a atenção para a banalização das imagens de violência na nossa sociedade e para a aparente normalidade com que são encaradas, mesmo no seio da família – no qual se infiltram, nomeadamente através do cinema e de desenhos animados violentos, numa qualquer vulgar matiné.

A estratégia comunicativa é a imagem-choque – uma situação de lazer familiar caricatura o que se observa na sociedade, chamando a atenção para o seu lado perverso e a anestesia valorativa que lhe está associada.


What kind of input do people get by going to the movies, watching TV or videogames? How many people do you see each day that get stabbed, blown up, crashed, tortured, or who suffer from other physical or mental harm inflicted on them? On an average of 10, 20, 30, more?

With certain video games, so called shoot’em ups, you can slaughter without mercy and the scale of victims is gigantic. Murder, violence, sadistic behaviour, racism, hate, deceit, disasters, perversion, more than half of the shows on TV, in the movies and video games are about these topics. Even in music people sign or rap about killing or torturing others like there’s nothing to it.

It seems a human life isn’t worth a thing.

[…] Maybe people would love to have this kind of entertainment for real in their own home? Like some sort of games in which the whole family participates? […] I wanted to create a sort of situation, a scenario, in which an ‘average’ family would sit at a table and play these games.

[…] I wanted to confront people with their taste in entertainment. […] That people think about where they draw the line between entertainment and being shocked or disgusted.
