Archive of Dr. Joseph M. Carrier

The series 'Archive of Dr. Joseph M. Carrier, 1962-1973' by Danh Vö is based on photos of young Vietnamese individuals taken by anthropologist Joseph M. Carrier, who worked in Vietnam from 1962 to 1973. Carrier documented casual interactions among Vietnamese men with his camera, which Vo showcases in these photogravures, creating an intimate atmosphere. This allows Vö to connect with a shared cultural past that colonization and migration denied him the firsthand experience of. The series also reflects on male intimacy and the recontextualization of these images.
