Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet call upon literary characters and historical figures as well as different temporalities and contexts in the new work The Wall That Bleeds (Projection and Voice-Over) (2012). For this piece the artists visited local museums in The Hague to gather clues for their new quest. First speaking the voice-overs on a 16mm silent film, they then diverge into stories of crimes and local curiosities.
