Seeing Things

American Modern: Abbott, Evans, Bourke-White

To explore the representation of war, An-My Lê has photographed reenacted battles from the Vietnam War, training exercises for U.S. soldiers about to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq, and the implications of any aggression on the natural environment. Lê’s work simultaneously builds on and permeates accepted notions of documentary photography.
