The projection was cast onto the victory column using two oversized projectors to mark the 112th anniversary of the filipino-american war over memorial day weekend. the pillar was an urban witness bearing both visual and audio testimony as evidence of its meaning in relation to U.S. militarism and global expansionism where animated figures actualize the story of the American battle with Spain.
