On Contested Terrain is published on the occasion of the first
comprehensive exhibition of An-My Le's work, organized by the
Carnegie Museum of Art. Throughout her career, Le has photographed
sites of former battlefields, spaces reserved for training for or
reenacting war, and the noncombatant roles of active service
members. She is part of a lineage of photographers who have adapted
the conventions of landscape photography to address the human
traces of history and conflict, but is one of the few who have
experienced the sights and sounds associated with growing up in a
warzone. The publication includes selections from Viet Nam
(1994-98), a series made on Le's return, twenty years after her
family was evacuated by the US military and 29 Palms (2003-4), made
on the eponymous military base built as a training ground during
the Iraq War. It will also include many new and
never-before-published images. Texts by curators Dan Leers and Lisa
Sutcliffe and an interview between Le and Pulitzer Prize-winning
author Viet Thanh Nguyen, address how Le's work complicates the
landscapes of conflict that have long informed American identity.
