In 2005 Harrell Fletcher visited The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a memorial museum for what is referred to in Vietnam as The American War. Over the course of several visits, the artist photographed all of the images and text descriptions from the main museum. This book presents about one hundred of those images. The photos have an oddly casual--and horrifying--quality but are still accurate representations of the material depicted at the museum. An artist's book. 96 pages; 5.25 x 7.75 inches.
