For EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO A BREAK Franz Wassermann works with an advertisement billboard of the chocolate manufacturer Milka in the public space of Innsbruck. The artist asks two volunteers – a man and a woman – to position themselves in front of the advertisement characters and glues them to the billboard with transparent tape. The volunteers hold their position as long as they wish and are watched by passersby in doing so. Eventually, they move, detach the tape from the billboard and leave the defragmented advertisement characters behind.
