Assimilation Assassination Plan
Taking references from a range of once familiar things, from Vietnamese landscape, Vietnamese TV gameshow to Vietnamese folklores, Vietnamese idioms, proverbs, the artist presents a site-specific installation that deals with cultural assimilation, cultural loss, cultural reclamation as a born and raised Vietnamese dwelling within the U n i t e d States of America. The work, which consists of photographic sculptures, found sculptures, and plaster cast copper etchings, can be viewed as Assimilation Assassination Plan.
