I Declare a Thumb War is an re-enactment of a found photograph from the beginning of the so-called war on terror era, of a soldier playing a friendly ‘thumb war’ game with a child. The video re-stages this absurd state-sanctioned image, a false utopian ideal and propaganda fantasy, and departs from it by situating it in an alternate uncanny reality.
