LABORATORY SERIES 23. Artist An-My Lê’s Small Wars: Rescue, 1999-2002. Gelatin Silver Print, Edition of 5, 26.5” x 38.” Small Wars is a meditation on the effects, consequences and imagery of war, from Vietnam to Afghanistan. While the photograph captures Vietnam War re-enactors in Virginia and North Carolina, the protagonist in Rescue is the natural landscape. Her work is as much about the image of combat as it is about the condition and space that it is reproduced within. Photo Courtesy of the Artist and Murray Guy, New York.
