41 Shots by Sherry Millner & Ernest, Larsen
19 out of the 41 shots fired in 10 seconds by 4 members of the NYPD Street Crimes Unit hit the defenseless body of one Amadou Diallo as he stood in the vestibule of the building where he lived in the Bronx. This video essay seizes on the grotesquely bald, factual precision of this numerical data, proceeding remorselessly on up from number 1 to 41, rubber-banding ten seconds into fourteen minutes, and then snapping it tight, in an intense, formal contemplation of how police violence is produced and then addressed by other forces on the city streets. A Sherry Millner and Ernest Larsen collaboration.
