PICTURE PLAY-BOOK

"Who Shot Painpang?" is a black & white picture book. The images within it are meant to suggest or give the impression of a layered narrative, loosely tied together from beginning to end, resonating with linear connections as it unfolds. Each page of images and ideas aims to build upon the ones that came before it to make a collective impact on the reader. This picture book is both an art book bordering on linear storytelling and an experimental narrative bordering on sequential art forms. But "Who Shot Painpang?" is first and foremost a page-by-page collage of words and pictures meant to encapsulate and expand upon the ideas, images and storylines presented in the three act play, D/R PAINPANG (1926-1966): A Tragedy of Small and Great Importance. And it is therefore recommended that this picture book, "Who Shot Painpang?", be enjoyed after first having read or seen the play on which it is based.
