1) © Bradley Wollman // The fall of Saddam. "This is a recreation of one of the most interesting events during the war. The event was staging, and when he passed on the television, there was a crowd of hundreds of people, centering around the statue. Other footage shows that it was on the strength of five people. I'm curious for whom was intended this manipulation of information. "- Bradley Uollmen.
About Little War - "I wanted to make a body of work that focused on the limitations of photography as a documentary medium. These limits were apparent, and they are exploited in various ways on the war. I would like to address a conflict between the way the war is in reality and how it is presented to us in our lives every day. While each image can present a fictional truth about the war, the entire assembly works can be seen as social commentary in the same way as a commentary on the war itself. "
To select specific images to recreate - "When I chose to recreate certain images, the principal was pretty obvious to me: we Bush to end the mission, tearing down statues of Saddam's Abu Ghraib, Saddam hanged. There were some images that were not known to a wide range of consumer information, such as the breakdown of the bunker and killing Apache and I thought that they should also highlight. And there are some image such as a convoy of Halliburton, that it was impossible to reconstruct the images of the documentary, but it was at a past event, and reports. I learned about the idea of using models to recreate the picture when I was in art school. I liked the idea that I could do to make, not only to remove them. There are a group of photographers and artists who work in this direction, and I find inspiration in their work, trying to make my work my own.
"My challenge is to find a way to activate these objects to help the viewer's imagination to move forward. I use whatever I can. For me it is easier to buy figurines and manage than ever to start from scratch. However, I did end up doing himself some figures (such as the statue of Saddam), and I'm really making the whole surroundings on their own. "
