about the work
There are two TV monitors positioned vertically on the floor, leaning against the wall. News anchors speak directly into the camera on the monitors, but there is no sound – only the word ‘Terror’ keeps appearing at the bottom of the screen.
Throughout 2016, Stienen recorded German news anchors using the word ‘Terror’ while looking at the camera.
