| Description: | The installation 'Thirty Six Shades of Red' consisted of 36 identification numbers from the Iraq Body Count database expressed as hexadecimal colour values and printed onto 10"x8" photographic transparencies. The individual sheets of film were installed onto the windowpanes of a large neo-classical façade, with each transparency representing a civilian casualty. Every identification number generated a unique colour, while the person's name, age, occupation and cause of death are contained within the JPEG filename, printed on the film’s rebate. Due to an idiosyncrasy in the encoding process, the colour mix remains dominated by red. |
