The movie “All items auctioned by Christian Schimanski over the internet in the last 120 days“ presents items who had been sold or bought by a user named “schimanski.net“ on ebay. The slideshow of goods presents a deep view into the private life of a specific person.

A frying pan and a golden coin, palm trees and loudspeakers, a watch and RAM bays had been transfered between seller and buyer. But it remains speculatively, who hides behind the pseudomyn and if he (she) was the seller or buyer. The images can be interpreted in several ways.

The simple removal to a new flat or a heartbreaking split. Sudden prosperity or a financial disaster, which needed to be covered with a garage sale. “schimanski.net” is the only person who knows the true story, but you’re invited to create your own.
