Multiple stories are told within the same narrative.  The abuse of power. The fetishistic obsession that some have with firearms.  The disastrous consequences of such obsessions. The danger of a militarized police force.

As the series progresses it devolves and becomes darker and more graphic. We are the seducer, the seductress, the enabler and the victim.

The photographic style employed blends Helmut Newton’s eroticism with Weegee’s crime scene imagery. A hybrid form that has Huss describing himself as Helmut Weegee when incorporating this aesthetic.

The series was shot on medium format film and digital.  Its mature content of partial nudity and simulated violence may make those with milder dispositions uncomfortable.

 Parental guidance definitely recommended.
