As one member of the performance collective FOURDUMMIES has left Vienna for good, the remaining three artists are looking for someone new to join them. Security expert Pamela Nitrowitch seems to be the perfect match, but has to pass the collective’s crash test first. The dummy rite of passage soon takes on a life on its own and catapults the group onto a wild ride through a panopticon of real and fictitious security and surveillance conditions of Vienna. On their journey through the micro-dimension of the everyday,   popcorn leads the way, logic looks away, and a kingsize bed opens the portal to the dark side.

Wir empfangen zu viele Störbilder.
Wir haben keine Kontrolle mehr.
Wir fühlen eine Überflutung in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Zu viele Dinge, zu wenig Choices.
Totall Mess! Massiv Chaos!
Wir brauchen ein geschlossenes System!
Bist du sicher?

I’m a nasty woman!
Out of Control
Das ist keine Political Correctness.
Das ist Emotional Correctness!
Wir sind auf dem nächsten Level angekommen!
I speak from the heart!
Can you hear me?
I’m a nasty woman!
Dangerous
