“We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.” These words of Frantz Fanon conclude Harris’ sobering and chilling mash-up of frantic Chicago Police audio messages with frenetically animated Google Maps imagery surveying the city. The sound refers to the protests during 2020 that followed the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery; the image does not directly depict these events, instead evoking urban space as an ultra-controlled prison.
