The Exquisite Corpse of an Unidentified Soldier Volunteer

The image I chose to reference is of a soldier volunteer having a neurological test performed on him in a United States army chemical weapons test program that ran from 1955 to 1972. I chose this image because of the soldier's anonymity and because it raises questions about personal and institutional control.—Craig Yu
