How did I die
Davy Pieters
Reconstruction of a murder
In How Did I Die, time is a false trail: the time from finding the body to a possible conclusion, but also the deceased’s potential last hours. Nothing is certain. Time and truth are being manipulated, conspiracy theories revised. The truth is a complex puzzle in which the workings of our imaginations take on a gruesome (un)reality. There is just one murder – but countless paths that could have led to it. Does this reconstruction bring us any closer to the truth – or does it lead us further away? How Did I Die is a realistic, fictional, cinematic and physical production.
