(Re) Assemblies, 2023

Aperture is pleased to release this special limited-edition puzzle by the artist Tommy Kha on the occasion of the publication Tommy Kha: Half, Full, Quarter (2023). In this first monograph, the result of the Next Step Award, a collaboration between Aperture and Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, in partnership with 7|G Foundation, the artist explores the personal psycho-geography of his hometown and weaves together self-portraits and classically bucolic landscapes punctuated by the traces of East Asian stories embedded in the topography of the American South. In assembling a visual record of the struggle to find his own voice and to create a fragmented portrait of his family, Kha challenges the cultural amnesia around Asian lives and experiences in recent American histories. (Re) Assemblies, 2023 brings together a limited-edition puzzle of one of Kha's idiosyncratic self-portraits.
