The profession of military policeman is permeated with layers of role-playing, which together with performance, re-enactment and fiction form the central themes of my thesis research. One part of the research resulted in the video work 'A couple driving a car along the countryside' which is set in a military training village. In this experiment I asked the actors to improvise on the script, emphasising the role of text and voice. While at the same time driving a route in a lemniscate shape.
The written thesis Dealing with Control, A Parallel Fiction is partly a preliminary study for an essay film to deal with the double perspective within police work in which live action and role-play will alternate and sometimes overlap.
