Lost combines a segment of an audio diary by Chaplain Major Eric Olson with a single evolving shot of a former military base where dense fog obscures and reveals details of the landscape. The original video footage reframes the moral ambiguities of the diary segment that chronicles the shooting of an Iraqi during a house raid by American soldiers and their efforts to assist the Iraqi’s widow.
Lost was created for the 2006 exhibition, For Life, Against the War, which reprises an exhibition of the same name first mounted in New York City in 1966
