Bring Them Home By Donna Clovis is an installation of color digital
photographs. It is the Iraqi War juxtaposed against inspired
performance art. The installation is a discourse between art
created in New York City under the influences of a war that has
gone on too long.
Digital photographs by American soldiers in Iraq were sent to
Clovis through her father, a disabled veteran and national chaplain
for the Disabled Veterans Association. Clovis obtained images
depicting every day life of soldiers in Iraq. These images are
displayed on a large screen while performance photographs called,
Rhapsody, play simultaneously on the opposite wall. Rhapsody
is performance art exploring the concept of heroine.
Like cars and rock and roll of the 1960s, the digital image and
technology is the quintessential American experience. The bombardment
of information through blogs, the internet, cable television,
and cell phone create a stronghold for the visual image. Images
of war become part of the American psyche. The show deals with
the duality of the current social landscape and the body as a
landscape. The viewers engage in the space between.
