GEORGE FLOYD 9​.​26 (how long does it take to die​?​)

by Michael Scott Dublin

/

about

This piece is to remind us - HOW LONG - Derek Chauvin held George Floyd's neck under his knee. Nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds.

During this time for six minutes, George Floyd pleaded for his life, called out to his mother and children, while slowly dying in great distress.

At about six minutes George Floyd became unresponsive and was found not to have a pulse. but Derek Chauvin did not release his neck hold.

How long does it take to die?

It has taken me several months to finish this work, with a collection of voices gathered from all over the world in many languages. Many of the voices are torture survivors from various regimes who have fled that country.
