Scope and Contents

Gloor's "State Exam" provides a cross section of the language around the turn of the century, as it arises in advertising for companies and institutions, in journalism and in the literature, uses, and passes away. The texts consist of found objects arranged. They have grown by combining, citation and collages. Beat Gloor deals with the language, the words and the letters. "I have written down: from newspapers and on television, by old masters and young savages, with colleagues and companies on the Internet and at the carnival, short, with strangers and with myself» -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
