We'll be rich in memories of all the places
We've captured without camera
We've seen the pyramids
We've seen the Louvre
We've seen
Orion upside down
Total eclipses and the moonlight shadows
We've seen dolphins jumping waves
We've ski'ed the mountains and we swam in the rivers
And let the sunlight dry our skin
But freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
Freedom is the mastery of the known
Freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
No view is wider than the eye
Show a view to someone who chose to live his whole life in a cave
He'll raise his arms to protect his eyes from learning
And the blindness to which he belongs
This time it's me, it's me
Cascades of chances I'll just let them be
The unfamiliar is right below our eyes
Don't look for what we know
The unfamiliar is right below our eyes
Freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
Freedom is the mastery of the known
Freedom, freedom never greater than its owner
No view is wider than the eye
kings of convenience
kings of convenience
freedom and its owner
The Bomb Ponds: Work by Vandy Rattana
Between 1964 and 1975 the US military dropped 2,756,941 tons of explosives
across Cambodia. This figure -five times the generally accepted number- was
not acknowledged until 2000 when Bill Clinton traveled to Vietnam and quietly
released previously classified Air Force data on American bombings in former
Indochina. Dissatisfied with the level of documentation produced on the subject,
Vandy has created a series of landscape photographs testifying to the existence
of the craters created by the bombings, known today as the “bomb ponds.”
