Originally a large-scale vinyl installation piece, Big D’s LP is reimagined into a functional multiple. These limited-edition records consist of a handmade sleeve, a lathe cut 45 rpm record with frosted lettering, and a metallic gold printed insert.
In a brief written text and recording, the artist recounts her remembrance of John F. Kennedy’s assassination on the morning of November 22, 1963. As a resident of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Álvarez Muñoz ponders the impact of societal trauma on the individual and how scarred sites like Dealey Plaza inform collective memory.
