I’m not interested in repeating it. Spectacle doesn’t allow for any kind of thought around what is happening or what it might mean. Fausto on the steps of the capitol… I mean, if you shoot up into the air most anywhere else, it’s not a terrorist activity, but in this case it becomes one because of the relation to the site. Colton Tooley’s actions on campus – the ski mask, the military assault weapon – he was assuming the look of a character we’ve come to know. In my work I hope to slow down the spectacle, to consider how to read it. I brought in Faust – an iconic treatise on suicide – as an analogy. Not to fill in the blanks, but as a way to explore them.
