We 3 & The Ho Chi Me: Ho Chi Minh, twice, beside three oversized 500s

BROKEN BANKNOTE · 2020

WE 3 & the Ho Chi Me — We 3 & The Ho Chi Me

Fifty thousand đồng went into this painting: about two dollars. Three 500s, blown up as if under a jeweler’s loupe, out of all proportion. Ho Chi Minh, twice, once upside down. The war ended in 1975. The factories came later. A conversation America stopped having, still printed on the money.
