Title: An-My lê
Description: Over her three-decade career, An-My Lê has considered the cycles of global conflict, the consequences of diaspora, and the sensationalization of warfare. Born in Vietnam in 1960, Lê came to the United States in 1975 as a political refugee after the fall of Saigon. These experiences of war and displacement are woven throughout her work, from the black-and-white photographs taken on her first trip back to Vietnam after the war to a cyclorama-style installation of different landscapes linked by sinuous waters. The Mekong and the Mississippi—Lê’s titular rivers—become geographical touchpoints for the fluid connections between disparate places and memories.-Publisher
