Reality TV, as its name suggests, confronts the spectator to the false reality concepts represented by the media which, in its turn, defines false reality concepts and behaviors in what is usually called 'real life'. This supposed reality is represented by small fragments of typical TV commercials and shows, each of them displaying just the moments of false ecstasy, out of their original context. For example, the sequence in which the model describes emphatically how a certain shampoo completely changed her life, or one on which the model holds a cardboard box (of cereals? washing machine soap? You may choose) in a quasi orgasmic posture. As opposed to these, we start conceiving the dimmed image of a typical bourgeois family sitting in front (or inside?) the TV set, an image which shows the only “real reality” here. But, what can we say; this reality of captive zombies sitting in front of the commercials doesn’t look as glamorous… We still have the baby, who – for the moment – is the only one to demonstrate some kind of reaction. The structure of the movie supports the message both in the visual and musical way: each commercial fragment represents a module which can be displayed before or after any other module in a random way. Each of these modules contains its own specific music. A random sequence of these modules results in a monotonous white noise stream made of ecstatic fragments.
