Although the most of us never came face to face with criminals or terrorist, nevertheless we bear a learned and measured picture of criminals and terrorists in our mind.
Encouraged by the government and (daily) fed by the media we are supposed to react alert on suspected situations and persons. This has created a commonly accepted tendency of polarising classification of external characteristics: Evil as a (recognisable) species.

To prevent mistakes the series 'Evil Eyes' offers the viewer the possibility of making acquintance with criminals and terrorists without any risk and is at the same time a confrontation with personal associations.

They are open to interpretation; an appeal is made to the viewer's archive of images. This always produces (individual) associations. But these rely on external iconography and may include stereotypes and preconceptions. What have we all been watching and can we still interpret images in their originality? (March 2008)
