All the things we need (germ: "All die Dinge die wir brauchen") is a constantly growing visual archive of images of everyday objects and products distributed by spam media. By totally blackening out the advertisements a negative representation of the familiar format comes to the forefront of the perception.

Guided by the outline, only the shape now gives a vague idea of the product which is here on offer. By subvertising habits of consumption questions dealing with the border between information and dis-information, needs and desires, promise and disappointment are raised.
