Justin Bozung – Invocation of the Memory of Mary Turner, lynched on May 19, 1918 (2024)

A stasis work invoking the memory of the lynching of Mary Turner, a young, pregnant African American woman in South Georgia in 1918.

Publicly demanding justice following the murder of her husband, Turner was kidnapped by a mob, hung up in a tree, set on fire, her child cut out and killed, and shot hundreds of times before being buried on site in South Georgia.

Within in origins of cinema–on the exact date and time of Turner’s lynching 105-years earlier–, Invocation uses form, time, light and shadows, movement, and landscape as as metaphor to not only invoke the memory of the lynched Mary Turner, but to also offer a change to examine our own perspective as it relates to the history of racial violence, violence against women, America’s failure to acknowledge our past, and the racial divide that continues to exist in the schizophrenia of America life today.
