The project was inspired by the documentary The Act of Killing (2012); a film which follows the murders who committed the genocide in Indonesia as they shamelessly renact how the killings were done. Esmée Begemann and myself felt it is necessary to reflect on the sides of ourselves that are capable of violence and its consequences. The intention  was to investigate the mental and physical landscape of the day-to-day lives of those living in the remains of such acts too, where sometimes reality and illusion can mix up.

 

By the end of December we created a presentation to share as final outcome of this research. After, there was an open discussion with the audience members around our topic of investigation and what was shared.
