LoveGame
In an abandoned casino glittering in its lost glamor viewers are invited to play
a game of roulette by betting on the eyes of criminals of domestic violence and
spinning the wheel. The player partakes in determining the fate of the victim
whose headshot is inside the wheel. LoveGame aims to understand and question the
limits of stigmatizing criminal and victimized personalities.
