When I was living in Finland we smoked alot of cigarettes, as the empty packs piled up I started to notice a story growing out of the images on the boxes. Hospitalized, Exploded Genitals, Dead Baby, Depression, No Teeth, Funeral. As I searched the web for some sort of government data base where these images lived I came up short, as if they only existed in the corner of that room. But eventually I found myself in the European Commission Audiovisual Portal where dozens of images tagged #OLAF #cigarette #smuggling were collecting dust.
I printed out every image I could, swirled them around on my floor until a story took shape: a satirical retelling of the OLAF investigations from the early 2000s, positioning OLAF as a formidable, undefeated anti-smuggling organization that consistently outsmarts criminals through bureaucracy and systems. It is a very nice success!
