Acerca del libro
Growing up just outside of Peoria, Illinois, I’ve witnessed the changes the city has undergone, especially its crime rate. Between 2009 and 2010, Peoria has suffered from a significant spike in violent crimes, particularly homicides. According to the city’s website, the murder rate went up 113% from August 2009 to August 2010. “10-23: Arrived at Scene” is a documentary series of photographs depicting various locations throughout the city of Peoria where crimes have taken place. At first glance, the viewer may see a pleasant neighborhood, a familiar gas station, a location he or she can relate to in their own town. However, as the viewer explores the piece further and reads the title presented with each work, a deeper meaning is discovered. Each image is titled with the type of offense, location, time, and description of the crime that took place at the photographed location. For example, one of the images in the series portrays a nationally recognizable gas station with several cars present at the gas pumps and a pleasant blue sky. The image is cheerful, relatable, familiar, but the title and description of the location is unexpected and unsettling. "10-23: Arrived at Scene" documents the increase in crime that has occurred in Peoria as well as the crime that continues to take place in the city. It is my hope that this series brings attention to the serious crimes taking place in Peoria, and raises awareness about the importance of public safety in any community.
