after the images of violent confrontation and police violence, we might ask, can the embodiment of violence, the autoaffective gearing up, be traced?

this piece aims to open up the moment in which a body (policing body) becomes determined to enact force upon another body [resisting/protesting body].

This work became an obsession after watching the interminably long amount of time that the "pepper spray cop" - or rather the body of the "pepper spray cop" - took to gather up enough affective force to externalize violence. we could think of this in terms of decision making, but enough of mind/body severings.
