About work

Inspecting Bloody Corpses. Two gays murdered each other in an apartment in Prague. They were called Travis Jeppesen and Mario Dzurila, who are actually real people. Jeppesen is a journalist and art theorist, Dzurila is a German director and graphic designer. This fictional story recounts how they wanted to relocate to Berlin, but it somehow never worked out. Instead, they brutally murdered each other in their Hanesbrands Inc. branded nightwear. Ther again plays a game with the viewer and operates on the boundary of realism and naturalism, with the dead bodies being covered with blood in very unlikely places.
