| Title: The First Murder Media: Video installation Duration: 2'25'' 2008 |
Media society is claiming that nothing happened unless cached by camera. How we take then the first actual murder recorded with the camera? Can we say that there was no murder before it? Can we claim it as The First Murder? In the Book of Genesis, The First Murder is a story about Adam and Eve's son Cain who killed his brother Abel. This is The First Murder according to the Book. |

| In the mass media society which knows no reality but the one of the 24h news channels industry - the first murder happened on 9th October 1934 in Marseille, when King Alexander I of Yugoslavia was assassinated on the main street Le Canebiere. The camera was on the street that day and this film record of assasination remains one of the most historic pieces of newsreel in existence.
By using the digital technology on the original 35mm film, along with satelite scan of the exact place of murder, I was able to reconstruct the positions of the camera during this event on 9th October 1934.
