Gianpaolo Arena My Vietnam Anteprima, Roma 22.05.2014 - 17.07.2014 In 1968 during the war in Vietnam is portrayed to the world as an apocalyptic scenario, so masterfully told in ‘Apocalypse Now’ by Francis Ford Coppola; in ‘Platoon’ and ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ by Oliver Stone and ‘Full Metal Jacket’ by Stanley Kubrick. The vivid scenes of violence manifest a clash symbol of defeat, a scream of a generation against the war, countless political divisions of a West that bends and an East Asia that enters the collective memory. Vietnam becomes an icon. Speaking of its memory opens a deep wound. Made of long silences interrupted by the noise of scooters and the hectic traffic, through extensive landscapes in which to get lost, along rice fields or convulsed city streets, between the faces of the people. Until you get into a boat that slowly goes up the river. Highlighting a country while revealing another one, this is the story masterly told by Arena on today’s Vietnam. photoexhibitions.org/photoexhibitions/blog/gianpaolo-arena-roma/
