The work I Can't Believe It's Not Battle! Melt Away Before You is the second part of Nira Pereg’s “Redemption” trilogy, a body of work that deals with the heritage of ideology—the religious/political/economic representations. A multi-channel video installation, it revolves around the site of Fort Irwin National Training Center, a major training area for the United States Military located in the Mojave Desert in northern San Bernardino County, California. Fort Irwin is a simulation of another place—a fake Middle Eastern town—that in Pereg’s exhibition becomes the subject of an investigation into the nature of authenticity, simulation, fiction, and the theater of war.
