The title reads Twenty-four-Seven, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or every day of the week. In the work, I watch the news about the murders reported on that day while eating dinner for 24 days. I cut out scenes of the newscaster's words such as "murder" and "death penalty," and compressed the 24 days in 7 seconds.
Every day, someone is being murdered, and we are watching that in the news. I wanted to visualize that situation.
