Video projection: swinging pendulum, bar wall
of PVC tubing w/aluminum paint, concrete blocks. Audio: the sound
of a clock ticking is synched with the swinging pendulum and plays
endlessly; the sound of a heart beat is then layered periodically
into the ticking; it beats for 1 and a half minutes, dies out, andİthen
repeats itself every six minutes. The ticking continues on and on.
Last Meal: Cast and sheathed lead. A series
of last meal requests from 17 inmates in the state of Texas. Etched
into each tray is the name of the inmate and their date of execution.
Each tray is 11" x 17". Wheel chair.
Lead signs (death watch and execution records)
define the space and video monitors beyond play interviews with
a mother of a murdered child who opposes the death penalty, with
a former death row inmate, and with a mother whose son was murdered
and she supports the death penalty.
