THE SUSPECT USUAL – SPIRALE DES VERBRECHENS
experimental thriller, Germany 1998, 18 mins
betaSP, 4:3, colour, stereo, german dialogues, no subtitles

synopsis
A hybrid video that looks at the repetitive use of stereotypical images on TV, especially in the thriller, murder mystery and action genres. Isolated from their original contexts and narrative structures, these images come alive and start creating their own suspense. In the end, the question is: Why do we all watch the same stuff over and over again?
