A lot of people leave their personal documents lying about the internet unknowingly. By using wrongly configured p2p-software documents are shared unintentionally, allowing other people to download them.
I searched for those documents and found intimate letters, emails, photos, chat conversations and passport scans. I made a selection of found documents and bundled those into five 'portraits' of people who I don't know, but who I know quite a lot about. I took fragments from the found texts and combined those with my own images, giving a whole new meaning to those fragments.
