we have been consulting the trade-union campaign for the introduction of a statutory minimum-wage since the beginning of the year. above other things with a weblog for the campaign. at the present phase we are also conceiving the strategies for activist´s demonstrations. an elaborated 'go.stop.act' demo should be taking place on the first of may demonstration here in berlin.: hypereal puppet representing several underpaid professions will be used as eye-catcher for the demonsrtations. the process of developing and constructing the puppets was actually amazing.
the five puppets stand for professions suffering particulary for being beneath a minimum-wage status, as for example: security guards, waiters, nurses, dustbinmen and kitchen personell.
the demo was really funny (we really enjoyed it) and, as we hoped, it left behind a visual memory of the event, something which keeps implementing the aesthetics of trade-union demonstrations. the media sprung on it immediatily: a direct hit!
now the puppets will be going on tour throughout germany in order to be used for other minimum-wage campaign related demonstrations.
für die grosse 1. mai demonstration in berlin sollte endlich mal eine aufwendige 'go.stop.act' aktion umgesetzt werden: überlebensgrosse puppen als eye-catcher bei aktionen. schon das entwickeln und bauen der puppen war super..
die fünf puppen visualisieren berufe, die besonders unter lohn-dumping zu leiden haben: wachleute, servicekräfte, arzthelferinnen, müllmänner und küchenpersonal.
die aktion hat riesig spass gemacht und wie erhofft einen visuellen eindruck hinterlassen, der die ästhetik von gewerkschaftsdemos weiterentwickelt. die medien sind sofort darauf angesprungen: volltreffer!
nun gehen die puppen auf tour durch deutschland um bei mindestlohn-aktionen eingesetz zu werden.
