Object Description
Mission is an installation which depicts, in two wooden-framed pictures taken moments apart (1918), a passion play organized for local native players near the town of Mission, B.C. The photographs are presented on a wall painted Etruscan red. The picture is about one narrative of the sacred being used to obliterate another.
