Program to Kill

"Program to Kill" merges an unearthed letter addressed to New York Police Department Captain Joseph Borelli by David Berkowitz, famously known as The Son Of Sam, during his notorious murder spree in 1976 and 1977. Complementing this letter, the composition incorporates references from CameronsWorld.com—a digital collage featuring an assortment of websites exhibiting neglected upkeep. Together, these textual components masterfully depict Berkowitz's mental decline and the elusive nature of his heinous crimes.

Within the captivating narrative of "Program to Kill," the book itself is ingeniously suspended within a charred wooden box, symbolizing the enigmatic nature of Berkowitz's elusive identity. This artistic portrayal not only alludes to his ability to evade capture but also serves as a subtle reference to his unsettling penchant for committing arson on multiple occasions.
