These timed pieces are a work-in-progress that abstractly represents the moral luck involved in deaths and killings at the hands of Customs and Border Patrol. I use news as source material interpreted to create a critical history. I’m emphasizing how deeply chance characterizes the “wrongness” and criminalization of these immigrants’ actions. The focus here is not about any one individual’s moral luck in regard to determining conditions born into, but about the chance nature of laws and institutions mortally consequential yet in no way instantiating any eternal moral ideals.
