Murder in Three Acts is inspired by the representation of
art in popular media, particularly in television crime series in which the
artworks don’t solely exist in the background of the show, but become a vital
part of the script: exhibitions function as crime scenes and art works act as
murder weapons.
Imagining the decision-making process behind these props based
on representation of forensics science and art, Murder in Three Acts is
structured as a real-time performance involving a professional crime drama crew
and actors, in which an ‘exhibition’ scene from a presumed crime drama is being
discussed and rehearsed transparently during the opening hours of Frieze
London.
