Horton has recreated each scene of Stanley Kubrick's original Dr. Stranglove film with objects at hand in his studio, deflating what is exaggerated in Kubrick's black comedy. In a suite of prints that follows the film's narrative but which remains focused only on what is depicted within the film frame, Horton pairs Kubrick's stylized images of weapons technology and cold-war brinkmanship with his own low-tech replicas. Horton's mimicking counter-strike replicates at a remove not so much the conflicts of technologies and nations at war but the games by which systems and simulations communicate with one another. The comanding power of this whole is further emphasized by the fetishized presentation within the installation of the artist book that completes the project, which has been produced for Horton's first solo exhibition in a public gallery.
