Years in the making, Toronto artist Kristan Horton’s doubly legendary Dr. Strangelove Dr. Strangelove targets Stanley Kubrick’s original film, Dr. Strangelove. With the obsessive meticulousness of the master himself, Horton has recreated each scene with objects at hand in his studio, deflating what is exaggerated in Kubrick’s black comedy.
