New Project. "Serial Killers", 2010.

Thoughts: an atmospheric project, some sort of environment or staged set, with posters of serial killers and incorporation of photography of some sort. Want to create a confrontation between killer and victim(s), to set up a dialogue between the two. I also want to highlight the glamour and fanaticism associated with serial killers in the media, and the seemingly invisible trace the victims leave behind.
