This is an installation shot of "Do You Believe in the Bystander Effect?" in the White Gallery at Portland State University. This installation examines the mythology surrounding the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese. The viewer is cast in the role of Genovese’s neighbors who supposedly watched her die from their apartment windows. The piece consists of six collages of text appropriated from contemporaneous news sources, psychology journals, and biographical information concerning the people involved. The text collages were then printed on four different silk wall-hangings and displayed behind screen-window frames.
