A photo left at the US Embassy in Saigon. After the embassy staff and soldiers evacuated and withdrew, confidential documents that had been incinerated were scattered inside the building. A photograph with burnt remains and peeling emulsion seemed to secretly express this war (Saigon. June 1975). サイゴンの米大使館に残されていた写真。大使館員と兵員が脱出撤退した後の館内には焼却処分した機密書類が散乱していた。焼け残り、乳剤のはげた一枚の写真がこの戦争をひそかに表現しているようにも見えた(Saigon. 1975年6月)
