Binh Danh is an interesting artist (and person.) He has a unique interest in his own cultural history (combined with issues of politics and death and war) along with a talent for using all sorts of materials, especially organic ones coexisting with found objects. His projects kind of reminds me of Christian Boltanski's work.

 

This new project seems to be a bit of a detour for him. I'll look forward to hear more about it.
