Interview By Chris Thompson (Translated from original Vietnamese)
Arriving at 42 bis Ly Tu Trong, Ho Chi Minh City, I looked around the old apartment building in confusion. The first impression was the row of bicycles and motorbikes parked quite haphazardly in the stairwell and the old security guard with a slightly frowning face. Going up to the first floor, Richie Fawcett and his wife greeted me at the apartment door. It was a gallery displaying works depicting typical scenes of Vietnam.
Richie’s painting of the French Consulate, part of the wall. The Consulate window is lit up, meaning the bar is open.
The star of the room is the wall, which is decorated with a realistic painting of District 1; and the cut-out window that can be lit up by a light fixture inside the wall. You can even see your house if you live in the area. Behind the wall is bartender Richie Fawcett’s “laboratory.”
