DUMP is a work about abstract language. Communication which pretends to say something, but does not. The substance seams meaningless and incomprehensible. The work interconnects abstract spam-mails text with schizophasia, an disorganized speech characteristic of schizophrenia.
In the psychotic disorder of schiziphrenia, the ability to filter and process information is disturbed. Our brain normally acts as a filter for information from the senses, helping the brain pick out which nerve messages are important. A breakdown in this filter might lead to "information overload" - and contribute to the confusion often experienced by schizophrenics.
DUMP uses visual and auditiv technics to build up a situation like it can be provoked by such a brain disfuntion. The the text blocks used in the work are exlusively spam-mails, which in formal are rarely different from the speech of schizophasia.
