In her film The Audition Tapes (2014), these five, vaguely familiar, fictional men come to life through the meandering interpretations of 10 actors’ on-camera and improvised auditions. Accompanying the film is her new book titled The Book of Types, which documents how each elusive character has been repeatedly conjured through collaborations with San Francisco Police Department Officer and Composite Artist Elizabeth Prillinger and Vancouver-based designer Jaz Halloran. Through a series of fragmented descriptions, police sketches, and typography, The Book of Types leaves us with the traces of a cast that never was.
