Abstract:
The Museum recently acquired a new woven photo work by contemporary artist Dinh Q. Le. Le’s photo-weavings present contradictory histories of the Vietnam War exploring how context, experience, and memory impact our view of history. The artist took film stills from the Hollywood movie Apocalypse Now and weaved them with black-and-white photographs of Vietnamese citizens and images of parachutes taken during or following the Vietnam War.
