"Die Illusion der Verzweiflung," or The Illusion of Despair, explores existential concepts through homage to classic german cinema and literary archetypes. The Faustian character, Wilmot, desires a higher truth; his life is books, yet they are not compassionate. His need attracts Amara, who may have the power to help him, though at what cost? <i>German language with English subtitles.</i>

From Stage and Canvas, Real Detroit, April 2002:<br>
<i>"Whites Illusions of Despair is a black-and-white video installation built upon the adverse elements of alienation and interaction and set against an appropriately urban backdrop."</i><br>
