a digital version of a 35mm slide projection

For this slide show, I downloaded and printed out images of sunsets taken by soldiers in Iraq and posted on file sharing photo sites such as Flicker. I then organized these pictures in order of the position of the sun on the horizon and held them in front of a setting sun in New York. I photographed this gesture over the course of an entire sunset in order to examine the ways in which certain visual clichés function to displace representations of violence.
