I AM ALONE
I AM ALONE is a writing on a wall. Each dot consists of a QR code (Quick Response code) that can be scanned and read using a QR reader on a mobile phone (free to download). Each code reveals a picture of either a serial rapist, a serial killer, a child molester or a dictator.
The phrase I AM ALONE represents isolation - the very cause why one becomes a 'monster'. There is a connotation with the world-wide web, mass-(re)education etc, the Nazi flag. The overall moster (I am alone) consists of small particles (small monsters that make the one big human monster).
