Les Krims
The Incredible Case of the Stack O'Wheats Murders

1972

About the Item

In The Incredible Case Of The Stack O'Wheat Murders (1972), Krims both parodies forensic photography, and points to it as a remarkable archive of incredible and moving images (the various, successful CSI television series attests to his prescience). In each "Wheats" crime scene, a Stack O'Wheats (pancakes) is placed near each "victim" (he used friends and family to pose for the pictures). Each stack is topped with pats of butter and syrup, the number of pancakes in the stack signifying the number of the crime. Hershey's chocolate syrup was used to simulate blood in the photos, which was formed into words and celestial shapes. - Wikipedia Box set containing Two long folded sheets of text with an essay by Robert A. Sobieszek. 10 loose photo plates. Text sheets and plates in good condition, box that has some minor wear. Signed/numbered by Les Krims
