The perfect crime: Concerning the murder of reality by Malte Uchtmann & Jan A. Staiger

In a two-channel video installation various actors recite basic personal information about the roles they have played in crime series. While doing so, they slowly and almost imperceptibly change their appearance. As, among other things, for the creation of phantom images in real police work, various change processes are applied to the actors by means of artificial intelligence to create new possible versions of them. In the process, the real person who has taken on the role of perpetrator or victim in the crime series can no longer be clearly determined and thus no stereotypical classification is possible.
