The Dahmer Syndrome/A Thing of Beauty
The Dahmer Syndrome/A Thing of Beauty
This book was launched at the premiere of two plays at Black Box in Oslo August 2014. “A Thing of Beauty” is mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer’s story. “The Dahmer Syndrome” is the story of his victims. Both written by Malmfrid Hallum. The idea was to create a clear contrast between the two texts and to emphasize the different voices. The mass murderer’s almost innocent view of his deeds on a white background with a roman. Flip the book over and you can read the victims’ voices that are printed negative with a sans serif.
