– we found this futuristic dada bar that is supposed to open soon and will be run by an
english guy
– blow up copyshop in a 3-dimensional way
– “(...) coole kellerl’den wo man sich beim einkaufen vor dem fenster hinknien muss (...)”
[“cool cellar-level shops where you have to kneel down in front of the window while
shopping”]

– we found the shop location near the goethe institute
(...) really-clear-yes-sure (...)
“can you get through the door then?”
“no – pfff. can you understand it? come here. it’s just block thinking. it’s all in squares”

stressful situation: time is running out vs perfectionism
– it’s not only about the copyshop – the real shop should also be shown in relation to it

the presentation takes place at 2 locations:
1. on a wall in the park where copies of the original shop form a 2nd “copyshop”
2. at the original location, where they set up the shop
– aim: reproduce an existing shop in a cheap and more viral marketing way
– the first day we were mainly researching the locations, the second day we searched
for materials
– we tried to get it really recognizable
– in the shop where it is now installed, we acheived a real win-win situation, because
the owner increases his profits (the emply shop receives attention before it actually opens)
while we get a nice empty space for free remarks from the public:
– i would think that this is an advertisment for a copy shop – maybe the name should be
“copied shop”
– i really like what they did with the place and the architecture of the building & low
quality remarks on the collaboration:
– “for me, it was 4 days of very intense rule-breaking in sophia. I didn’t listen very much,
perhaps speaking was difficult, but walking was good.”
– “yes, it was more walking than working. it was my first teamwork experience. i’m happy.”
