Nha Trang lilly pond
Fly into Danang, drive south, pass China Beach and eventually you arrive at Nha Trang. To many people of the pre and post geneneration x who grew up on a cultural diet of seminal Vietnam war movies: Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon…these key places are a roll call to a collective (non) remembered past. Today Nha Trang is home to an artificial kingdom of the Thai-styled boutique holiday resort, designed to attract foreign tourist dollar. The Nha Trang Lily pond series is about that contrast, past & present, surface & depth and the construction of an idyll.
