Description
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Exilee and Temps Morts Selected Works brings together her previously uncollected writings and text-based pieces with images, offering a unique insight into her radical exploration of cultural and personal identity. Spanning the period between 1976 and 1982, this volume features two related poem sequences that explore themes of language, memory, displacement, and alienation. Cha's work continues to resonate with artists today, and this collection provides a fuller view of a major figure in late twentieth-century art. The book includes her highly original postmodern text Dictee, which is now an internationally studied work of autobiography. With its new cover, Exilee and Temps Morts Selected Works offers a fresh perspective on Cha's innovative style. Copublished by Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, this stunning selection of Cha's works is a valuable addition to any collection of contemporary art literature.
