EPSTEIN IS THE WORST KIND OF VIRUS, 2020, Site Specific with bed sheet and 120mm Photographic Film

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell having both prominent connections to the worlds most powerful people, have come to symbolize sex trafficking and child trafficking in the modern age. 

The predator banner is a site-specific photography performance where I walk in the footsteps of two of the most evil, repugnant individuals known in 21st century America. While simultaneously as a byproduct, uncovering the institutional corruption that procures and protects such atrocities and psychopathic personalities. Elite co-conspirators continue to walk freely, dictating some of the world's most significant decisions, hiding behind their ostensible, manufactured disguises. If we take anything away, the Epstein/Maxwell case gives us a prime example and confirmation that you can indeed be above the law if rich, powerful, and well connected enough and that unfortunately, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are just the tip of a very ominous iceberg.

Their social circle was full of high profile individuals in political, art, media, medical, educational and Hollywood spheres including: Prince Andrew, Leslie Wexner, Alan Dershowitz, Donald Trump, Ivana Trump, Donald Barr, Rupert Murdoch, Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, Bill Gates, Kevin Spacey, Andrew Cuomo, Alexander Acosta, Ehud Barak, Frédéric Fekkai, Jean-Luc Brunel, Glenn and Eva Dubin, Leon Black, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen, to name a notable few. .

The well-connected British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell worked as his primary female recruiter to bring in vulnerable underage girls for Epstein and others to have sex with. She is currently awaiting trial at The Metropolitan Detention Center for November on charges that "she recruited teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse over a 10-year period." . Ghislaine will hopefully not dodge a well-deserved sentence for her crimes like former Epstein did in 2009 and Cosby in 2021 due to their Non-Prosecution Agreements; however, this is entirely possible. She is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors at Tallahassee FCI, described on its website as a “low security federal correctional institution with a detention center.”

To whom the girls were being sold remains ominously quiet and publically unknown.

Epstein was likely murdered to conceal the network of wealthy businesspeople and politicians he regularly met with. Ghislaine, although in prison, and Epstein, although dead, have massive networks, all of whom continue to purchase women and girls.

Kopenhaver, from Doylestown, Pa., said her work concerns the topics "surrounding abduction, sex trafficking, psychopaths, predators," and her current project has been taking the "predator banner" to visit locations known to Epstein and Maxwell.
