museum of massacre

There are many muse­ums to war and mass killing; this museum is dif­fer­ent.

Museum pre-Massacre does not focus on the after­math of mas­sacre. Instead it dwells on the still, unsul­lied, open, even naive space, prior to the vio­lence that will fill it. In look­ing at the still­ness, another memo­r­ial emerges, one ded­i­cated to the way space shapes our expec­ta­tions in and of the world. As an online doc­u­men­tary, Muse­umPre­Mass also allows vis­i­tors to look at media’s role in mas­sacre and the enslave­ment of vision, to ask how we use this infor­ma­tion to main­tain insti­tu­tions of fear towards oth­ers, and back upon ourselves.
