This research by Rafael Tanaka Monzò is based on the photographic work of Mell Kilpatrick.

The photographer focused on documenting violent deaths, crime victims, suicides in the trailer parks of small-town America, and traffic accidents.

The cult of progress, the automobile, and speed in postwar America stands in stark contrast to provincial poverty and a general sense of disdain for life and the future.

Rafael manipulates this material; the temporality of the scenes is distorted through repetition and elongation, creating a tragic atmosphere with his moving scanner.
