We imagine things come true

... and pay our best attention to products which are usually just used or even pushed aside. 'The Extinguisher', 'The Sedan' and 'The Chime' are three animation sequences which whimsically sabotage the expectations in the form and functionality of every day life objects, exploring the possibilities that lie beyond what is necessary – the absurd beyond the reasonable. Watch all three animations on www.vimeo.com/paulsteinmann

We Imagine Things Come True was commissioned by curator Benjamin Loyauté for the Prediciton Exhibtion of the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, France, where it was exhibited from November 20 to December 5 2010.
