Description
This is the second in a three-part series of works commenting on the use or abuse of technology in the First Gulf War (1990-91), and on television viewers' detachment from the war. The series depicts an infra-red camera view of a building target being bombed during the Gulf War, as seen by an air pilot. This work features a screen view of aerial fire, with patches of urgent yellow creating heightened disturbance in the picture.
