	'Deception By Design' Artists and the military might seem strange bedfellows, but painters, sculptors, photographers and set designers have played a critical but little-known role in modern warfare. Despite resistance and often ridicule, artists were recruited in both the first and second world wars to devise ways to protect troops and deceive the enemy by using their artistic skills and intimate knowledge of perspective, illusion, shadow and movement. Inspired by nature and influenced by the modernist movements of their day, camoufleurs created bizarre decoys, dummy tanks and elaborate sets to conceal military installations. Now, the race is on for the ultimate in camouflage, invisibility, and artists are again the frame. Using rarely seen archive, interviews with leading experts and arresting visual graphics, this quirky and fascinating documentary reveals the untold story of the art of deception in war.

Rather than just relying on British writing from the period, Upfront MC, read widely from German, Serbian and Turkish soldier’s work. This approach helped inform the lyrics, but also guided Harry Gough’s choice of documentary material, which he montaged into a matching visual narrative.

During the exhibition Paul Gough altered the piece viewed here, 'Faux Cenotaph' by the adding and subtracting various artifacts and elements. In the still at the time, very recent wake of the attack on the World Trade center in New York shortly before the show began, members of the public also made their own and higly personal and often moving, spontaenous additions to the work.

	'Don McCullin - Redundant Warrior' Made for the ITV network in 1991-2, 'Don McCullin - Redundant Warrior' is a documentary about the war photographer's work, his reflections upon that work, the effect upon his life and state of well-being and how he has learned to cope with what he has witnessed and how he has come to turn his camera on nature to help square that mental and emotional circle. The film shows some of McCullin's strong and disturbing images taken in several war zones throughout the second half of the Twentieth Century, the effects on the local populations, especially the children, as well as the soldiers sent out to fight. Through a series of interviews with Paul Gough, McCullin talks about his deep feelings of guilt, his own 'disfigurement' by war and the ‘black conscience’ it left him with. In these probing discussions McCullin clearly reveals the deep inner turmoil he has suffered and continues to suffer as a result of what he has seen and recorded. The documentary, directed by award-winning David Hopkins and produced by Abigail Davies, is a moving tribute to those he caught on camera in his attempts to inform the wider world of the real cost and lasting effects of war. Don McCullin has been the recipient of many awards for his work, including the World Press Photo Award in 1964 for his coverage of the war in Cyprus, the Warsaw Gold Medal the same year, the Royal Photographic Society's Special 150th Anniversary Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography in 2003, their Centenary Medal in 2006 and several honorary doctorates and fellowships among others.
