Liquid TV. The story of the format’s invention and the syndrome of information asphyxia. The thread breaks where it is weakest: a boundary between the fictional, the documentary and the observed. Where can we find stories in our daily life? What features does reality need in order to be noticed? Where does an event hide and how can it be staged? Macro-event and micro-event. What is fiction documentation? A bus conversation as a basis for dramaturgy. Failed at Youtube, but successful in the gallery.
