The video "Ways of Worldmaking” presents a monologue composed of fragments of movie scripts. A collage of Hollywood speeches all designed to reflect a moment of self-revelation, of initiation, a quest or a redemption. However, it appears quickly that the actor merely promotes stereotypes. He recounts superficial sentences and tries to impose his empty ideology as a way of thinking. In this manner, he relates to the myths of "success stories” and of the "American dream”: anyone, if taking the chance, can achieve success and happiness. From this point of view life is simple.
