In American English, particularly, "mugshot" (or mug shot) refers to photos taken of suspects as part of the booking process. The term is a combination of the slang word "mug," meaning "face," and the word "shot," indicating a photograph.
In the artistic book project "a mug of hate/love," police photos and their stories are used as a starting point for a juxtaposition of violence and love.
Five cases of couples who have committed crimes against their own children are juxtaposed with love poems by Pablo Neruda, forming a chaotic and confusing unity in which the boundaries of love and violence blur.
