n his twenty-fifth artist's book Volker Renner adapts the courtroom drama genre. On the movie screen the latter is defined by its heavy reliance on dialogue Renner by contrast lets the pictures speak. And it was images not words that moved the millions who through twenty-five days of proceedings seized on the opportunity to watch the livestream of the trial pitting Johnny Depp against Amber Heard on Court TV YouTube or various other social media channels. Both the ex-husband and wife's media-savvy self-dramatization and the viewers' reactions and comments grew to hitherto unseen dimensions. The two actors' private lives were staged for all to see reality-show-style as though as based on a secret screenplay. In Ein Prozess Volker Renner now opens the pages of that storyboard. Each day of the hearings and trial in 2021 and 2022 is the subject of a dedicated chapter in which the artist has the principal characters appear in film stills he extracted from the recordings from the trial. Hewing to a rigorously documentary approach he compiles a visual transcript of the presentation of evidence making it accessible to a discourse analysis that in the Foucauldian tradition investigates not just language but above all the language of images. Even the allegation that prompted the trial concerned the damage to a star's public image rather than a truth that could be borne out by evidence: more than anything else it is images that are seen and read today and that in being seen and read exert the greatest power imaginable in the struggle over what is right and fair. The jury agreed with a public majority in finding in Johnny Depp's favor. A matter of performance? J O H N C . D E P P I I v.
