2003

Inspired by Saddam Hussein’s use of body doubles during his career in Iraq, my collaborators and I visited Washington DC on Saddam's birthday while wearing masks depicting the Iraqi leader. Coincidentally, the search for the missing Saddam was featured on the front page of USA Today newspaper that same day.
