In the body of work known as Headless (2007-2015) Goldin+Senneby approach the sphere of offshore finance, and its production of virtual space through legal code. Investigating strategies of withdrawal and secrecy, they trace an offshore company on the Bahamas called Headless Ltd. A ghostwritten detective novel continuously narrates their investigations.

The novel Headless by K.D. was published by Triple Canopy in 2015, but the main artistic proposal was the making of the novel as an “ongoing performance” (2007–2015), including staged situations and exhibitions such as Gone Offshore (2008), Headless, From the Public Record (2009), Headless at Regus (2010), Lot 36: Fiction on Auction (2010), and The Decapitation of Money (2010).
