CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
2003
DVD 3 minute loop 2 channel installation with soundtrack


"Crime and Punishment" is a two channel video installation comprised of re-photographed images from "China Big Case", a magazine that sensationalizes violent crime and its subsequent punishment. Meaning is extricated via the sequencing of the images rather than through text. Intertwining characters, themes, and scenes of victimization, violence, distress, and judgment are looped into a meditative and suspenseful muse on crime and punishment.
