War Stories

War Stories

These tracks are from a huge multi screen project at the Newseum when it was in Arlington, VA.

The pieces evoke the Civil War, World War I, and The Korean War respectively. The images are an incredibly powerful anti-war message.
It was a powerful piece aired on a screen that was one hundred and twelve feet long, divided into nine screens at times, three at times, one enormous image at times.
