Binh Danh’s imagery addresses the continuum of the Vietnamese-American War

and how the residue of the

war still resides within the

Vietnamese landscape.

The images are reminiscent of early photography and the photogenic botanicals of

William Henry Fox Talbot.

"It's almost my religious practice when I make my own

artwork because I'm coming up with my own concept

about what is life, what is death, what is consciousness,

what is history."
--Binh Danh
