Dinh Q. Lê is a Vietnamese American fine arts photographer, best known for his woven-photographs. His artwork includes installation, video, sculpture, and urban intervention. Dinh Q. Lê spends time in both Vietnam and Los Angeles producing his work. As one would weave a traditional grass mat in Vietnam, Dinh Q. Lê uses photographic strips and weaves them into an image. His woven photographs consist of several layers, which immediately attract and combine one’s perception into mixed feelings. A mixture of joyfulness and sorrow is seen in the interlacing of a colorful fantasy and mournful pictures of the Vietnam War.
Projects 93 was an installation by Dinh Q. Lê at the MoMA in New York. It includes the exhibition of a home-made helicopter built by Tran Quoc Hai, large photographic woven work by Dinh Q. Lê and a video installation about the Vietnam War done in collaboration with Tuan Andrew Nguyen and Phu-Nam Thuc Ha.
