La Chute (abjection)

My commentary

 

I looked for Albert Camus, La Chute, and did not find it on my shelves. Long search, dusty, with memories. Memories of Clamence, the character, lamenting his inoperability and alienation in the degrading framework of modern man ...
Distressing memories made me incorporate the character.
I gathered 4 images (19cmX19cm each) of police files, of the almost 7 murders per hour in 2015 (6,744, 2017 survey) around us and I mounted La Chute (abjection)
Gabriel Borba, 2018

PS: I received prejudiced comments refering this piece to police violence. Not here. It is violence of paisano against paisano, brother against brother. The police go there, register and investigate. Sometimes they arrest.
