The entire Evil From The Outset? project was constructed without a single location shoot. Conceived as audio, video and pictorial collage, all 16 performances were shot in front of a green screen, with corresponding environments cobbled together from various jpeg images of offices, living rooms and back yards posted online. Carrying forward the central conceit of “True Crime” documentaries, the video alternates between talking-head testimonials, stock footage sequences, and stills that are panned over. Every one of these elements is digitally manipulated, at times inserting foreign imagery into stock footage and laying a new text into a preexisting text. For example, every appearance of Dick Arbitrage Jr. superimposes a new face on top of Michael Douglas’ famous anti-hero “Gordon Gekko.” While the images retain a modicum of their “Wall Street” pop-cultural significance, they are also re-cast as a more sinister if not completely absurd variation.
