On view from June14 to June 27, 2014 | |
Confound Acts is a three-channel video that features anonymous yet beautiful nature footage based on the murder and dismemberment committed by a childhood friend. The metaphorical symbols of a red sheet and white plastic bag serve as reminders for the violent act that occurred, while the woods stand as a witness to this violent crime. The audio for this piece is an interview of a family member and courtroom audio. Through the analysis of childhood memories as well as court evidence, I aim to gain clarity in these acts as well as relay the effects this type of event can have on the families involved, who in turn become victims themselves. |
