Erinnerungspeicher: EN PARALELO

In a mysterious turn of events, a young detective suddenly receives a series of 2×20 photographs. The images depict scenes reminiscent of the characteristic style of serial murder crime scenes. However, instead of corpses, the photos show macabrely staged newspaper bodies. What the detective initially dismisses as a tasteless joke gradually begins to unsettle her. The images reach her through various channels, and she starts recording her thoughts and observations on a glass pane. The black-and-white photographs and the locations where they are found span the entire city.

What begins as a simple documentation quickly evolves into an obsessive search for the unknown. The images seem to point toward a dark path, drawing the detective ever deeper into the abyss of a mystery that refuses to let her go – a gripping pursuit of the unknown, where every clue raises new questions.
