DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT?

A study of government interrogation.

In 2023, the US Government created 10,064 unique forms that it uses to collect information from the public. According to its own estimate, 107 billion individual forms are completed each year, requiring approximately 1.2 million years worth of effort. A dizzying array of things is covered: a feral swine survey, requests for flags used in burials, currency transactions by casinos, petitions for alien entrepreneurs.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT? is an attempt to capture and frame the sprawling, almost sublime scale of the state’s boundless impulse to interrogate. A long duration installation video provides an ambient, visceral encounter with this rationality and an accompanying book provides an index and guide to those things which are legible to the state, and implicitly, those which are not.
