“good enough for the people” is a line from a speech by anarchist Emma Goldman published in 1917. Animated apes bring to life Goldman’s incendiary words about how promoting patriotism can be used as propaganda for selfish political and monetary gains. That sentiment still holds very true today.

Two grass creatures on either side of a river raise themselves up from the ground. They constantly fight over non sequitur arguments in an effort to shift the river border and acquire more land. While battling it out they are magically made into a hotel. Occupants should not forget their passports as their rooms shift from one side of the border to the other.

Two people living together need to balance their lives. But every movement in this precarious space shifts that balance. Fortunately the furniture is all hinged. Even when the floor is falling out from under you, the basic amenities always remain level.

This single unit combines the toilet with the sink. Waste and wash are neatly accessible in one place. Since two people could utilize the combo at the same time it could also serve well for a communal bathroom, should anyone ever want that. In this animation the units are set up like musical chairs. When the music stops the person must also stop and utilize whatever they find by their side. 3:00 min., 2001.
