Book Condition: Used - Good
Publisher: Marquand Books, 2003.
ISBN: 0970639457
Haunting and provocative, Dinh Q. Lê's billboard-scale works interweave stills from Vietnamese films with war pictures, news photographs and archival documentary images. This interweaving is literal--the artist slices giant appropriated pictures into strips and then intermingles them as if they were the wicker used to make a basket or the rags used to make a rug, a reworking of traditional weaving techniques taught to him by his grandmother. The resulting photo collage has a pixilated quality but a handmade physicality and offers an overwhelmingly large-scale juxtaposition of images that fight and question and confuse one another. Published in conjunction with Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Elizabeth Leach Gallery, and PPOW. Hardcover with jacket. Scuffing to covers. Clean and uncreased, tight and bright
