The making of “Mr. Lincoln”

It is interesting to see the relay of how “Mr. Lincoln” was made and the final results (especially the close-up shots of the facial expressions). Maybe it would be intriguing to mix them with some “real” Lincoln’s photographs to illustrate the point of hyperreality, which it becomes difficult to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality. (Though I also understand hyperreality is focused on the “constructed” realities so I am not sure if this is a good idea.)
