The prosecution—whether domestic or international—of international crimes and atrocities may implicate extremely aged defendants. Much has been written about the legalisms that inhere (or not) in trying these barely alive individuals. Very little however has been written about the aesthetics the barely alive encrust into the architecture of courtrooms, the optics these defendants suffuse into the trial process, and the expressive value of punishing them. This is what we seek to do in this project.

起诉老年被告的视觉效果和美学

对国际罪行和暴行的起诉——无论是国内的还是国际的——都可能牵连到年迈的被告。关于审判这些几乎活着的人时固有的（或不存在的）律法主义的文章很多。然而，很少有人写到法庭建筑中几乎没有生命的外壳的美学，这些被告在审判过程中充斥的光学，以及惩罚他们的表现价值。这就是我们在这个项目中寻求做的事情。
