Featuring modern portraits and first-hand accounts, this book
offers a unique perspective on the Vietnam War, bringing together
the stories of American Vietnam war veterans, southern Vietnamese
war veterans and civilians. The surreal imagery of Thomas Sanders'
vivid portraits encourages the viewer to take a closer look at
those who experienced the war, giving them a chance to read the
haunting, inspirational, and sometimes comical stories of the
individuals of the Vietnam War. Set in a surreal jungle
environment, the portraits evoke the sense of darkness and
uncertainty felt by those who experienced the war. Some of the
portraits hold objects that relate to their role or experience
during their time in the service. The objects tell a deeper story
of a dark and confusing war: the common cigarette pack smoked by
the vets while in the jungle; a homemade grenade made by the
northern Vietnamese; and a "order to report" document - a piece of
paper that changed many a life. Vietnam Portraits serves as a form
of catharsis for the many people involved in the Vietnam War and
honours them by giving them an opportunity to tell their story,
bearing witness to their service, their experiences and the
aftermath.
