Part of a series exploring gun violence and fetishism in America. This is the rifle that was used to assassinate JFK. The image is printed with archival ink onto pages of books about JFK. The book is then cut up, pages are turned on their sides and ordered to reform the image of the gun using the edges of the pages.
