do you have a gun?

1998

12 cibachrome prints and text  50×50 cm each

Do you have a gun?  consists of a series of portraits of people that I met while travelling in the west of U.S.A. Casual encounters that were generally taking place in public spaces. While I was taking their picture I asked them to give a short description of themselves to accompany  their portrait . I also asked them if they could tell me whether they had a gun and if they kept it loaded. The photographs are framed with a written description of themselves and their answer.
