The spatial trailer is based on a short story written by the artists, named F.F.6 which means “fuck face 6” and refers to the number of the beast. This story is about a man ostracized by society and now lives a lonely life in the forrest. Whenever he leaves his hiding place, he wears a mask made from a slashed sex-doll. Every time he runs into a living soul when wearing this mask, the result is a conflict that ends in excess. Until he finally decides to take revenge on his tormentors. A hallucinating road-trip constructed like a crossover song where different styles are connected into a schizophrenic whole. The installation is realized behind the storefront window of a squatted shop at the side of a busy downtown street. The window is taped with colored skulls around a gridded opening. The motorized traffic notices a colored blur. Cyclists recognize the skulls, but only those who slow down can look inside and see the diorama. Pedestrians stop and wonder, plastic disposable bags on the floor. An oval- shaped wooden plate pierced with nails rests on its sharp points that pierce through the plastic disposable bags into the raw concrete. From the hole in the middle of the oval-shaped wooden plate a broomstick erects itself. On top of this stick waits the FF6 mask to be used again.
