BURY THEM AND KEEP QUIET II (2004)

Multiple-channel video installation


video stills

“Bury Them and Keep Quiet II” (Enterrar y Callar) borrows its title from Francisco Goya’s “The Disasters of War” etchings. This multi-channel video installation presents three to six simultaneous floor projections of single gloves burning to ashes and subsequently regenerating to their initial state. The gloves were picked up in the winter of 2001 from the streets of New York.
