	- Time for Revollusion -

	c-print, 150x200cm, woodframe, plexiglas, 2008

	The statement -Time for Revolution- is used in various contexts. 
	You can see it in book titles, song names, symposium topics, 
	degree dissertations, titles of artworks and it is written on 
	millions of facades in cities all over the world. 

	-Time for Revolution- became a brand of the quest for change. 
	Change to a different social or political state or just change into 
	humble alteration of our everyday life. It challenges the 
	authorities and seeks for the better, the new alternative. 
	The neon writing -Time for Revollusion- is a minimal modification 
	of this strong statement. The typography of the installation reminds 
	of simple illegal graffiti that are usually encountered on facades. 

	In this case the word -Revollusion- has a spelling mistake: 
	it is written with double -l- and instead an -s- in place of a -t-. 

	It still keeps its basic content but the wrong spelling opens up a 
	space for a new way of reading this statement. 
	It emphasizes a critical self-reflection of the very message it 
	propagates. The failure contained in the word -Revollusion- shifts 
	the whole message of this strong request to a new level: 
	the original demand shifts into the background, while the statement 
	gains a naive and innocent note. 
	The fact that many people will not even recognize the failure is 
	also part of the play with effects of a simple spelling modification.
