Written during the period the artist lived in Belgium, False Friends is a detective story inspired by Edgar Allen Poe\u0026rsquo;s \u003cem\u003eMurders at the Rue Morgue\u003c/em\u003e (1841), considered to be the first detective novel. False Friends follows the murder of a mother and daughter, which becomes overshadowed by sinister political undertones. The story takes place in Antwerp in 2007, which was a time of deepening anti-immigrant tension following four murders that happened around the country in the previous year. Also reflecting on the politics of language, the narrator of False Friends only speaks Dutch, the detective only French and all texts within texts are in English.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e*Artist\u0026rsquo;s book originally published in an edition of 500.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nFirst edition published by Kunstverein, Amsterdam.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nSecond edition published by Garamond Press.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn haar werken gebruikt Ruth Sacks vaak fictief proza en onderzoekt ze historisch materiaal om veelzijdige standpunten te cre\u0026euml;ren over kwesties die relevant zijn binnen de hedendaagse politieke situatie. \u003cem\u003eFalse Friends\u003c/em\u003e, geschreven tijdens de periode dat de kunstenaar in Belgi\u0026euml; woonde, is een detectiveverhaal ge\u0026iuml;nspireerd op Edgar Allen Poe\u0026#39;s \u003cem\u003eMurders in the Rue Morgue\u003c/em\u003e (1841), wat als de eerste detectiveroman beschouwd wordt. \u003cem\u003eFalse Friends\u003c/em\u003e volgt de moord op een moeder en dochter, een verhaal dat doorspekt is met sinistere politieke ondertonen.
