The book features An-My Lãe's significant photographic series capturing former battlefields, training sites, and the roles of noncombatants in war, alongside new, unseen images. Curators Dan Leers and Lisa Sutcliffe contribute essays, while an interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen explores how Lãe's work challenges and enriches the understanding of conflict's impact on American identity. This comprehensive exhibition publication offers a deep reflection on the landscapes of war and their complex narratives.

The complicity of the image: photography at the intersection of police surveillance, corporate/state control and artificial intelligence How are images being utilized to gather data on our daily activities? With the development and advancement of artificial intelligence, there has been a radical change in the way surveillance systems capture, categorize and synthesize photographs. Mirror with a Memory explores the intersection between AI, photography and surveillance--its past, present and future--to underscore concerns about implicit bias, right to privacy and police monitoring embedded in corporate, military and law enforcement applications.
