A Marine’s Disposable War

Spent

A disposable-camera photograph made during Kenny Bass’s 2003 Iraq deployment and rediscovered more than two decades later.

Purchase details pending

A vast Iraqi desert landscape covered with thousands of spent artillery shell casings beneath a pale blue sky.
Spent, Iraq, 2003. Photograph by Kenny Bass.

The photograph

Spent belongs to A Marine’s Disposable War, a developing body of disposable-camera photographs made during military service in Iraq and reconsidered more than two decades later. The work is being preserved and prepared with the same restraint used in the original photograph—without erasing the physical character of the source image.

The final artist statement for this work is still being written.
