Lapse
●
Sourcing content from This American Life Episode 501: The View From In Here, Lapse is a book that illustrates the inevitable crumbling of a society enforced by America’s War on Drugs.
The book follows two conversations. One is a verbal exchange between inmate and security guard over several hours. The other is a symbolic exchange of technologic advancement and societal destruction over 9,000 years since the birth of human invention. The book is printed on tissue and carbon transfer paper so that the artifact itself symbolically deteriorates rapidly.
