Using footage of past performance artworks. RPG Role Playing Games 4:CRIME ACTIONS explores the performative in photo & video documentation.Raising questions if Performance art actions are equilvalent to the same actions recorded in video, RPG 4 alleges that performance art on video is an entirely different context than the original performative actions .The work points out that the medium of video is enabled for manipulation and that the process of editing already differs it from the actual thing that was filmed.The manipulated or edited work becomes a new creation with actions then recreated.

The title Crime Actions refers to the images used in this piece-photos taken from the web as well as selected shots chosen by Garcia to create impressions of a crime scene.
