Le Hien Minh is currently presenting Lotusthetics at the Bangkok Art Biennale, one of Southeast Asia’s largest biennales. This year’s theme, Angels & Mara, explores dialectical opposites between the realms of goodness and the undesirable. Through its juxtaposition of images drawn from Hollywood films, historical archives, popular culture, and spiritual iconography, Lotusthetics is a moving-image collage that transforms the original meanings of its source imagery to create an unsettling, poignant, yet transcendental experience. The work subverts representations of Asian women while recentering female power within a firmly matriarchal framework.
