DEBATE BOX (2006/2016)

George Peck’s video Debate Box is a reflection on the 2004 brutal presidential debates between George Bush and John Kerry. When creating the piece, Peck envisioned two boxers who, with each cheap shot, would congratulate themselves for each broken rule. Today in 2016 this behavior has escalated from an abhorred match to a three-ring circus. Did we allow the floodgates to be opened ten years ago?
