After 3 years of proceeding, the City Cotton community won the case, due to the evidence and the dedicated community committee being determined to achieve justice. The ruling was regarded as a landmark ruling.

The installation consisted of 150 images hanging from the ceiling, consisting of 2 x 75 prints of the evidence photos, each plastified & cut in a unique way, stamped and numbered 1 to 150. The photos were hung with thin, vulnerable lines from the ceiling, so after some time most of them would fall down and the visitors would walk over them.

Most plastified photos have therefore marks, scratches & dirt on them, which are integral part of the artworks.
