"vietnam war" memorial my ass. None of these ever mention the countless Vietnamese killed and raped and mutilated by the demons inscribed on those stones. Reminder to peekaboo any of the guys in wheelchairs with a participation trophy on their heads to induce a heart attack
I got to see this piece in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago last year: https://mcachicago.org/collection/items/chris-burden/2432-the-other-vietnam-memorial
It's an incredible piece with a dozen panels of bronze with the names of every Vietnamese civilian victim of the American war. The font size is tiny, there's literally millions of names. It's haunting
I am always tempted to knock their stupid hats off, but never have the courage to actually do it :sicko-wistful:
