Lee Marvin Toolbox
Kunstpreis des Medienforums München, 2001
Lee Marvin Toolbox contains nine imaginary tools for organising existence: Confrontation
Fence, Corner Plug, Decision Clapper, Existence
Siren, Hand Rope, Pleasurefield, Pointpole, Sheltering
Skin, Viewing Point. These tools are described in a Handbook and complementary animations. As soundtrack plays a cover version of the song Wandering
Star sung by the artist (originally sung by Lee Marvin in the Western Comedy Paint
your Wagon, 1969).

Marvin Toolbox is constructed in various small JavaScript windows, which form a graphic pattern on the screen, and avoid the browser interface. On opening, a small window offers a choice to click either Lee or Marvin. Clicking Marvin eventually takes the user to a Handbook. Animations will open in new windows when the title, or the word details, is clicked.
All the works components are downloadable as MP3, PDF or Projector files from a storage space which will be reached following Lee or clicking Storage in the Handbook.
