Artist: An-My Lê

For 30 years, photographer An-My Lê, who was born in Vietnam in 1960 but fled to the United States with her family as a teenager, has engaged with the complex fictions that inform how we justify, represent, and mythologize warfare and other forms of conflict. In this exhibition she presents two new contrasting series; one taken at night and presented around the gallery and one taken in daylight and presented as a custom cyclorama. Both series are cinematic in style, establishing a thin line between reality and fiction, and summon wonder of the unknown and ancient lands. They also continue her exploration of the contradictory nature of the manifest and the sublime within the contemporary American landscape and the latter as a present-day locus of technology, power, and ambition.

This presentation follows her recent, critically acclaimed survey at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
