Space Invaders superimposed onto real war photography

Adam Richardson’s Invaded Space collection features photographs of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq with characters from the classic Space Invaders video game superimposed over the top.

At first glance you might feel it trivialises the war. On second thoughts, however, if there were any more thought processes involved other than ‘hey, let’s do something cliched’ – it was probably more to do with giving it to the man (the ‘game-playing’ government) than making a mockery of the armed forces.
