O.i.F. is short for Original in Farbe (original in colour).
The term was used when newspapers did not print images in full colour.
This work was first published in a black and white zine.
Spread from the first zine O.i.F. #20b as part of the Böhm zines.
O.i.F/ Movie Locations: portfolio-box including 61 colour pigment prints, fixed on cardboard. (size of the images: 23 x 18 cm; size of cardboard 29,7 x 42 cm)
After some years we decided to publish a portfolio with all images in colour.
We have been looking for a form which suits the idea of a book and also works as an exhibition.

The guide book to the images: One way to find images. Manhattan-Bridge as seen from Brooklyn was one of our first destinations in New York. It looked like expected. Almost not real. Of course a film team was just about to leave. Nowadays the streets are crowded and you find a Starbuck’s at every corner.
Sitting next to Patricia Arquette: A kind of restaurant guide book. Breakfast in Hills Coffee Shop/Hollywood – because of Swingers. Across Whilshire Boulevard (beautyfully demolished in Volcano) to Fairfax Avenue, having a hamburger in Canter’s next to the Enemy of the State. We keep on crossing the city: to Rae’s in St. Monica because of True Romance, to Burbank for of Bob’s Big Boy and Heat, and of course to Chinatown because of Jack Nicolson and Faye Dunaway. A last drink back in Pantry Cafe opposite the Hotel, and we are very sure this will be a movie location pretty soon.
