Ghost Gun from
Ethan H. Minsker on

This is a test for an art installation.
These guns move with the whim of a slight breeze, pointing in all
directions reflecting the randomness of being targeted and killed. This
is meant to be a memorial for the victims of gun violence. I have
personally lost friends, and with mass murders and killings in the news
looping over and over this project reflects on this subject. Each gun is
meant to represent one person killed by a gun. The viewer adds the
name. I will make 300 guns for the installation. In the center of the
room will be a white box where the viewer can wright the name and what
happened to someone they lost to a gun. I will then make a fanzine with
selected text from the box. The space behind the box will have the guns
hanging and I will place a mark on the floor where people can take a
photo selfie and ask them to hashtag #Ghostgun.
I have no clue where I would show this.
