VICTIMS, VICTIMIZERS, VOYEURS: scratching the surface of daily life in search for evil
Abstract
In this paper, I discuss some of the main ideas that surround my art project Interview, which was created as my final master degree project. It included eleven volunteers who were filmed while they underwent an interview that used very soft interrogation and brainwashing techniques connected to daily life activities. The paper starts by explaining the project itself and how it was installed at an art exhibition, and continues with more general concepts related to oppression, power abuse, comedy, and the use of fiction as a means of discussing reality.
