On Contested Terrain was published in conjunction with a 2020-2021 traveling exhibition organized by the Carnegie Museum of Art. It was the first comprehensive survey of An-My Lê's oeuvre, which she has dedicated to exploring the complexity that envelops war. A significant body of the large-format black-and-white and color photographs from across Lê’s career portray the American Landscape staged for conflict and warfare: borders are manipulated and patrolled; borders sites are reserved for warfare training or reenactments for entertainment; and public statues mark increasingly polarized grounds.
