Heimliche Bräute. Eheliches Glück. [Backdoor Brides »Marital Bliss«] (2009–2020)
›Heimliche Bräute. Eheliches Glück.‹ is part of the series »Copy and Erasure«. In this case, the starting point was a film* on a VHS tape that I found at a flea market. Using a scientific transcription technic, I transcribed all the dialog and phenomena of oral communication by hand, and then deleted all the spoken words. The sheet shows a redrawn version of the cover of the VHS tape.
