'LA Homicide' is a work in two parts - photographs with hand-written text and an improvisational speaking/movement performance - two juxtaposed and interwoven methods of description, Day’s own “personal noir.” Day appropriates historical incidents to serve as allegories or examples that might shed insight upon broader philosophical and political questions. Typically the vast majority of crimes go unreported by major media, and in Los Angeles only 5-10% of murders are described in print or television. As an experiment, in 2007 the Los Angeles Times began a web-log that would attempt to at least list each murder in the city. In his work Day takes up the sprawling anecdotes of the Homicide Report as a found novel, a text that serves as a point of departure, map, and epic poem of the city.
