What is the connection between the works of French burglar and prostitute Jean Genet and of the 19th century Swiss crystallographer Louis Albert Necker? As an articulation of Jean Paul Sartre's discourse on Genet's embodiment of "the negative", Disinformation remixes audio samples from the final interview with one of France's most notorious writers, exploring perceptual ambiguities which link experiences of auditory and visual illusions.

"There must have been certain forces in my unconscious (complexes, childhood memories, desires, etc) which produced this association so regularly... it is because death must live within me... it springs forth from my slightest word" Jean Genet
