A year ago, the artist Harrell Fletcher saw the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, a memorial to what the Vietnamese call the American War. He was so struck by it that he went back with a digital camera to photograph on the sly everything there. This meant mostly magazine and newspaper photographs, and snapshots of Agent Orange victims, captioned. He shot the photographs and the captions separately, at an angle, to cut down on reflections, and in such a way that his pictures make clear that he was there, standing in the museum, taking photographs of photographs that are themselves copies. They look a little like the pictures you find on eBay.
