Locking yourself in. An active decision.
Being locked away. A passive event.
When does the request for a place of retreat, perhaps even a place of protection, when does a demarcation become a necessity? But when does it lead to a drifting apart, to disagreements and inaccessibility?
SPERRIG is the beginning of a research process. It is a reflection on the nature of the justice system, the isolation of prison inmates, an approach to alternative forms and highlighting the perspectives of those affected. It is a documentary approach, a treatment of vulnerable perspectives and the question of how we speak about others, how we report and how we judge.
