\"BROOKLYN,<\/a>
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 21: An-My Le is photographed on September 21, 2012 in Brooklyn, NY. (Photo by Matt Carr for Home Front Communications)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An-My L\u00ea is an artist whose photographs of landscapes transformed by war or other forms of military activity blur the boundaries between fact and fiction and are rich with layers of meaning. A refugee from Vietnam and resident of the United States since 1975, much of L\u00ea\u2019s work is inspired by her own experience of war and dislocation.\u00a0Projects include “Vi\u00eat Nam” (1994\u201398), in which L\u00ea\u2019s memories of a war-torn countryside are reconciled with the contemporary landscape; “Small Wars” (1999\u20132002), in which L\u00ea photographed and participated in Vietnam War reenactments in South Carolina; and”29 Palms” (2003\u201304), in which United States Marines preparing for deployment play-act scenarios in a virtual Middle East in the California desert.\u00a0Suspended between the formal traditions of documentary and staged photography, L\u00ea\u2019s work explores the disjunction between wars as historical events and the ubiquitous representation of war in contemporary entertainment, politics, and collective consciousness.<\/p>\n

During An-My L\u00ea’s von Hess Visiting Artist Residency in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts at the University of the Arts she will be creating an original offset print and speaking about her work.<\/p>\n

Presented as part of The Print Center 100.
