The Crime Scene Motel Project examines a particular social site, the cheap motel room, as a setting for criminal transgression. Drawing on criminal law analysis, ‘ghost criminology’ and a research methodology entwining autoethnography, the act of sleeping and visual arts, The Crime Scene Motel Project contributes to spatial understandings of these private-but-publicly shared rooms as sites that lend themselves to crime events, have experienced criminal behaviour and remain charged with the traces of transgression.
