What do you get when you assemble a group of elderly volunteers and reshoot historic photographs? The art collective Henry VIII’s Wives attempted just that in their Iconic Moments of the 20th Century photo project. Some photos, such as the Vietnamese street execution, were skillfully reproduced. Others, such as the Iwo Jima flag raising shown above, were much harder.
