Exploring the intersections of geography and human experience, the photographs in Between Two Rivers present compelling visual narratives that unfold along the banks of two rivers. The work captures evolving landscapes and moments of transition, emphasizing tension and connection within natural and urban environments.
Through a careful deployment of framing and light, An-My Lê investigates themes of history, memory, and place, inviting viewers to consider the layers of meaning embedded within these liminal zones. The images traverse both serene and charged atmospheres, reflecting the complexity of sites where water shapes and divides.
Published by The Museum of Modern Art in 2023, this 184-page edition offers a focused exploration of Lê’s photographic practice, inviting a sustained engagement with the subtle yet powerful dynamics operating between land and water.
