Pao Houa Her’s Elusive Illusions at Baxter Street
Writer, researcher, and teacher Jacinda Tran reflects on the photographs of Poa Houa Her, whose current exhibition, “And Other Illusions” is currently on view at Baxter Street at the Camera Club of NY through March 20, 2024.
“Her’s photos both recall and estrange the landscape of Laos, a country that many Hmong had once called home before their compulsory expulsion to the US in 1975,” writes Tran. “By crafting illusions, Her wrests the colonial technology of photography from its fraught usage and past in order to weave diasporic tales of loss, inheritance, and desire.”
