crimes of imagery

re-enactments, using found forensic pathology archive images. immediately, i think of how Renaissance painters used cadavers to draw figures accurately. what is accuracy anyway? i suppose it depends on the perception of the viewer and translation of the image. isn't it more interesting to look for discrepancies rather than accuracies?

hence, the images i chose previously. investigation scenes within our contemporary context could be viewed as art works within themselves. the composition of the painterly photographic images, the comparative aspects, aesthetic sensations, questions of reality versus illusion and of course our favorite topic in art, death, or rather now, the filmic enactment of death, to which we no longer question whether something is real, as everything appears staged. Thank you Guy Dubord.

One such publication is Forensic Art and Illustration by Karen Taylor.

    ...On March 7, 1984 GĂ©rard Lebovici was found shot dead in the front seat of his car in the basement of the Avenue Foch carpark in Paris. There was swift confirmation that he had died on 5 March from four bullets fired from behind into the back of the neck. The assassins have never been caught..."
