two-part film installation (Super8, looped)
variable dimensions

The two projections are projected on the two sides of the tracing paper and the paper strips in front.
Each projection consists of ribbons of text and strips of portraits that overlap in part. Seen from the one side, the facial features combine to form new, fictional portraits while the other side is dominated by ribbons of text.
The images and text are taken from criminological statistics and describe the profiles of various serious offenders.
