In Warring Visions, Thy Phu explores photography from dispersed
communities throughout Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora, both
during and after the Vietnam War, to complicate narratives of
conflict and memory. While the visual history of the Vietnam War
has been dominated by American documentaries and war photography,
Phu turns to photographs circulated by the Vietnamese themselves,
capturing a range of subjects, occasions, and perspectives. Phu's
concept of warring visions refers to contrasts in the use of war
photos in North Vietnam, which highlighted national liberation and
aligned themselves with an international audience, and those in
South Vietnam, which focused on family and everyday survival. Phu
also uses warring visions to enlarge the category of war
photography, a genre that usually consists of images illustrating
the immediacy of combat and the spectacle of violence, pain, and
wounded bodies. She pushes this genre beyond such definitions by
analyzing pictures of family life, weddings, and other quotidian
scenes of life during the war. Phu thus expands our understanding
of how war is waged, experienced, and resolved.
