Help out in archiving photographs!
In Dinh Q. Lê's installation Erasure, the artist, who as a child fled Vietnam with his family via Thailand to the U.S., addresses his own background as a refugee. Most of the photographs covering the floor were bought by the artist at antique shops in Ho Chi Minh City. According to Lê, most were left behind by people fleeing their homeland in the middle of the Vietnam War. By archiving each of these photographs, Lê hopes the work will bring back the personal memories of the individuals who were forced to flee their homeland and seek asylum abroad that are locked inside these small photographs.
Volunteers will asked to scan the photographs that cover the gallery floor, and upload them to the project website. The archiving work will take place in the gallery space, as part of the artwork, during opening hours of the museum. No special skills or qualifications are required. As long as you have basic computer skills, you are welcome to apply.
