Fruit salad Mess With Collateral Surgical Precision

The project Fruit salad Mess With Collateral Surgical Precision is based on imagery from broadcast cable news; I am probing what I like to call aesthetics of demolition; the broadcast images of violence, aggression and death became so accessible and acceptable by common taste, and are shaping the behaviors of younger generations into carelessness and apathy.

The title of the project is a manipulation of military terms like: missiles of surgical precision that cause no collateral damage.

I used deja-vu press images, manipulated them on photoshop then placed them on a video band with created audio representative of the drums of war.
