In the Eclipse of Angkor July 9, 2010

In the Eclipse of Angkor artist Binh Danh was born in Vietnam in 1977, two years after the fall of Saigon, and in 1979 he and his family left their country and eventually reached the United States. The experience inspired him to create artwork exploring time and memory. “This series ... continues my exploration of the photographic process. Photography has allowed me to mediate on death and its influence on the living. The themes of mortality, memory, history, landscape justice, evidence and spirituality encompass this [work],” states the artist. This exhibit was organized by the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University. The exhibition and accompanying publication were made possible by the Frances Niederer Artist–in–Residence Fund, Hollins University.
