Trial of Deutsche Bank
A chaotic and theatrically charged mixed media installation, John Bock's *Trial of Deutsche Bank* layers found objects, handcrafted elements, and video into a dense, absurdist critique of financial power and institutional authority. A lawn mower fitted with a wooden armature and puppet anchors the physical space alongside scattered newspapers, beads, yarn, and clothing, creating an atmosphere of fractured ritual and mock jurisprudence. The accompanying 17-minute DVD extends the work's performative logic, blurring the boundaries between farce, protest, and surreal spectacle.
