I was tired of making depressing art about murder ballads so I opted for a more cheerful approach to the project this week. Louis Collin is a song written by Mississippi John Hurt after a conversation he overheard about a man, Louis, who is murdered. I figured that if Hurt overheard the conversation, their must have been some discrepancies --in light of this thought, I included a half naked man with a water gun, and a lumberjack with deflective laser beam eyes. These images are all strung together on wire frame glasses so viewers can watch the action unfold before their eyes.
