The Perfect Crime: Concerning the Murder of Reality takes the overrepresentation of televised fictional murder as the starting point of exploring possible effects of crime fiction on our perception and behaviour. Through different visual levels it explores the extent to which supposed knowledge about police work, potentially hazardous locations and alleged characteristics of victims and perpetrators is reinforced through fictional representations in crime series.
In collaboration with Jan A. Staiger.
