The work "Somnubene 1mg"concerns Viennas junkie-scene.Somnubene is considered as a heroin-substitute.Meanwhile it is abused as one of the main drugs of Viennas tablets junkies.Instead of 1 tablet abusers take up to 15 pills at once.Sucking the pills instead of swallowing activates a faster and stronger effect of the drug.an embedded colourant in the tablets shows immediately the abuse.Their lips, mouth and teeth take on a flashy cyan-blue colour.Making knowlingly superficial, beautified, hyperealistic and idealized images of that social dramatic content creates a strange crossover of social prejudices, aestetical iconography and social voyerism with haptics and impressions of photo-realistic paintings.(8 photographsc-prints, diasec mounted, 120x160cm and 180x240cm)
