Kedah-Siam War or also known locally as Perang Musuh Bisik took place in Kedah for twenty-one years from 1821 and lasted until 1842. It was one of the wars that changed the state of Kedah significantly in terms of demography, politics and political stability, and affected the Kedah sultanate greatly. During the war, there was no photograph recorded as the photograph technology is not yet available in the region. Documents discussing this event are scarce and yet much valuable to the history of Kedah that shape what it is now. Hence, this significant historical event is re-enacted through digital photo arts for the education of generations to come.
