An-My Lê: On Contested Terrain
English
By (author): Copublished by Aperture and Carnegie Museum of Art
The publication includes selections from Viêt Nam (199498), a series made on Lês return, twenty years after her family was evacuated by the US military and 29 Palms (20034), made on the eponymous military base built as a training ground during the Iraq War. It will also include many new and never-before-published images. Texts by curators Dan Leers and Lisa Sutcliffe and an interview between Lê and Pulitzer Prizewinning author Viet Thanh Nguyen, address how Lês work complicates the landscapes of conflict that have long informed American identity.
