John Wayne Gacy was an American serial killer active during the 1970s in Illinois. He murdered 33 young men and boys. He was convicted in 1980 and executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994. An American Record exists to register recurrence. The works are presented as entries, not portraits, and resist narrative or dramatization. Individually, they are incidents; collectively, they reveal a pattern sustained over time. This collection does not seek interpretation or empathy. It functions as documentation—marking what was repeated, what was overlooked, and what was allowed to continue.
