WAREP - inFORMATIONal video

"(The War Experience Project) intersects the homogenized military experience through the use of a (military camouflage uniform) with the personalized individual experience through (their) inscriptions and paintings on uniform jackets. This allows us to see veterans as both soldiers and people simultaneously.... It deconstructs the notion of the militarized, mechanized body in war to show us the emotional, individual person as the wearer of uniform. The jacket, as something that covers the body is used to reveal the more intimate experience of veterans. The cover is thus used to uncover."
