Judge Toni · staged photographic story
TheFuneral.
Concept · Photography · Direction
Munich. A collective fiction about grief, greed and one final joke from the dead.
Synopsis / 01
Judge Toni is dead.
Everyone wants the money.
The mourners gather around his grave: his wife, his lover and his assistants. But everything is a performance. They are united not by grief, but by greed and the hope of a generous inheritance.
Before finding eternal rest, the spirit of the dead takes revenge one final time. They all leave empty handed: the entire fortune goes to Elon Musk and his mission to Mars.
The evidence / 19 scenes
Everything is
a performance.
Grief is staged. Loyalty is negotiable. Everyone is waiting for the will to be read, and the dead man has saved his best joke for last.
The people / 02
A collective
fiction.
One staged world, built by photographers, designers, performers, make-up artists and makers. Every name is part of the image.
