civil war re-enactors

This image was created by Phillip Toledano for a project called The United States of Entertainment. This work highlights the absurd ways in which Americans entertain themselves and reflects the vantage point of the observer.  I came across this image of 2 civil war re-enactors taking a break.  It seems perfect that they're drinking Coca-cola products... as if Coke (and corporate America) was the official sponsor of war.  I love the way her dress is perfectly shaped.  It's intriguing that there is a culture of Americans who spend countless days re-enacting civil war battles and even more intriguing that they have audiences.
