This series, developed over twelve years, explores the mnemonic function of photography, and serves to highlight the use of our collective historical narratives of atrocity by using excerpts from soldiers’ diaries, fighting songs, memoirs and news accounts of battles. 

In doing so, a contemporary view of these atrocity landscapes is juxtaposed with historical text challenging the viewer to reconsider these battlefields and their position in them. 

This body of work was produced using all vintage cameras, most notably the Kodak Hawkeye Brownie first manufactured in the 1940s through the 1960s. This photographic work was featured in a special issue of Afterimage: The Aesthetics of Atrocity in the summer 2011.
