A Drop
10 players, 1 ball, 6 deceased
In 1955, six young basketball players from a school in rural Texas, on the brink of their lives, were drafted up by the American military to be trained to fight in Vietnam, a conflict the majority of Americans feigned amnesia, wishing neither to talk nor think about their nation's most debilitating war, and the only one they ever lost.
A Drop is a memorial to these ordinary young men, whose deaths are listed as mostly cancer, and an attempt to rescue and transform their existence from the oblivion of time, to give them a voice against political and social silence.
