‘Andrew Beyer’, a video-work from ‘Paradise’ by Kutlug Ataman
“I enjoy doing it because people remember me. I am also now in the Guinness Book of Records as the worlds oldest performing clown in the whole world. I have a certificate I show at my performances. It is also in the book, on page twenty-one in this year’s edition. I’ve been retired now from my regular job for about twenty-five years. But still I enjoy doing the parties, and I enjoy having people tell me that they remember me for so long.”

“The Doublethink Project is a research-project on various aspects of contemporary public service undertaken by Doublethink. In an attempt to comprehend this popular term, find out who it’s for and who it’s from we came up with 8 alternative abstractions on how to understand and study it.”
