Help bring A Marine’s Disposable War to another audience. You can recommend the project, explore hosting it, or begin an institutional acquisition conversation without having to write the pitch yourself.
The work
Fifteen photographs. One disposable camera. Iraq, 2003.
A Marine’s Disposable War is a fifteen-image documentary photographic body drawn from one disposable camera Kenny Bass carried as a young Marine infantryman during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
A Marine’s Disposable War is a 15-photograph body featuring Spent, 2026 Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards Bronze Winner, Photojournalism / Conflict.
The exhibition model pairs physical photographs with a screen-reader-native web companion built around stable photograph routes and visitor-controlled progressive disclosure. Presentation scale and programming can be discussed with each host while the photographs remain the center of the experience.
Works are available individually, as a coordinated multi-work acquisition, or as a complete 15-photograph print suite. A complete suite means one physical print of each photograph; it does not include copyright, negatives, digital masters, reproduction rights, or every copy in an edition.
A complete-suite proposal may include a defined quantity of signed hardbound books.
Potential conversations include exhibition, institutional acquisition, education or research, and accessibility collaboration.
Physical and digital
Accessibility is part of the artistic experience.
The companion is designed for ordinary visitor devices and can support remote visits as well as links beside physical works. It presents description, context, recollection, credits, connections, and meaningful uncertainty in layers visitors control.
Each institutional acquisition includes configuration of a collection-specific accessible digital companion for the exact works selected and their installation order. Accessibility is not sold as a surcharge. Approved local context and wayfinding may be added without altering canonical artwork facts; physical signage, on-site integration, unusual platform work, or other new production may be scoped separately.
The physical photographs remain primary. The companion is designed to travel beside the work, adding visitor-controlled description and context instead of separating access into a text-heavy accommodation page.

Host or institutional inquiry
Start with what you know.
A museum, gallery, university, library, corporate collection, veterans organization, community space, local business, or another appropriate venue can use the same front door.
You do not need to know the final exhibition or acquisition format. Choose the closest interest, or choose Not sure.
This starts a conversation only. It does not reserve work, confirm a host, create a purchase, or authorize anyone to represent Kenny. Do not include sensitive records. See the privacy notice.
Not sure is a complete answer. It will not prevent the inquiry from being reviewed.
If someone connected you to the project, you may name them. Leave this blank if not applicable.
