When We Start to Love War, an installation of 17 prints, vinyl lettering, and two found vintage photographs, problematizes Western media's representation of conflict and war. By reconfiguring the imagery of war that newspapers, magazines, the internet, and television, deliver us, my aim was to expose and reconfigure how we perceive conflict.
This installation developed out of mining Western media's attempts to inform us about war and its navigation of our experiences of conflict. In exploring media filters and tactics used to deliver to us insight on political combat, When We Start To Love War aims to question the consequences of living during warring times.
Installation: Thomas Welton Stanford Art Gallery, January - February 2010
