Production
For five years, Schneemann accumulated images from newspapers and magazines showing atrocities from the Vietnam War. She began creating Viet Flakes as part of Snows, a performance piece. Schneemann borrowed a movie camera from filmmaker Ken Jacobs. Since it lacked a close-up lens, she bought magnifying glasses which she attached to the camera lens using tape.
