Installation view, Alternative Museum, New York, 1994). 1994. Typewriter film ribbon, camera viewfinders, magnets, wire-nails; dimensions installed: 36 x 270". 17a) The Malefactors' Register (detail). 1994. Typewriter film ribbon, camera viewfinders, magnets, wire-nails; viewfinders: 1 3/8 x 7/8" each, wire-nails: 1 1/4". Rows of evenly spaced wire-nails, hammered into the wall, are the support for camera viewfinders whose bottom edges have thin magnetic strips fastened to them. Each viewfinder has attached to its little window a piece of typewriter film ribbon. Most film ribbons are entirely black, some have legible writing on it in minute script. Visitors can remove the viewfinders, read them, and put them back. The texts are excerpts from so-called "Malefactors' Registers," which are brief official accounts from 17th- and 18th-century England, of a convict's crime, sentence received, and behavior just before being executed, i.e. "last words or speeches."
