Jack Bauer Destroys Anything

As part of Consumed, curated by Olivia Pintos-Lopez. Eight artists/artist groups had access to a space, shopfront, projector for 24 hours, recordings of which will constitute a stop-motion film.

I watched 24 (TV Series), projecting it into the the night and making things I saw onscreen with unfired clay, as a type of narrative analysis on Kiefer Sutherland’s character. Over 8 seasons, the show essentially repeats the same grand narrative of a day in which this character ‘consumes’ the world, carving a path of theatrical destruction, leaving spent environments and objects – bullet shells, dead bodies, walls that have been torn down by cars. I’m interested both in the relevant aspects of the narrative itself (the intended meaning of the show, exceptionally alluring cheap thrills) and the reflected meaning of the show within our culture.
