Project Overview

Cues examines interrogation as a performed scene, staged through gesture, repetition, set-up, and technical props. Taking the polygraph as its recurring prop, the work traces the script that structures interrogation. The formulaic scenes from police training films and film noir are punctured by a near-human test figure that shadows the characters’ movements, pulling their choreography into view. Across these fragments, interrogation reads like rehearsal. Repeated often enough, its staged action turns into procedure.
