“Bomb
Ponds” is a poignant series of photographs and a one-channel video by
Cambodian artist Vandy Rattana (b. 1980) exploring the U.S. bombing of
Cambodia during the Vietnam War. The serenity of Vandy’s images belies
the violent history of the landscape, while his video highlights the
resilience of the Cambodian people. “Bomb Ponds” also brings attention
to the lack of documentation of these unwarranted acts of violence
undertaken by the U.S. government.
