While speaking about the ideas behind the video Poison Girl (2000), which was initially supposed to be a short TV commercial about their everyday life, Oze explained that ‘we wanted to film what we lack in our life: a commercial video clip-like relation with reality, an ability to turn our problems into an advertising type of superficiality. At the same time everyday life objects and actions are presented in a very advertising-like way. You walk, drive, climb, eat while advertising your living space, your child, mouse of your computer, your lifestyle. Duration: 30 sec. Of course, colour.’
