Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê has created a process of weaving photographs which have become his most well-known medium. In his latest series entitled "Khmer Reamker", Lê focuses on the failings of collective perceptions about Cambodia. The works combine the portraits of those caught in the Khmer Rouge conflict (1975-1979) combined with the images found in the Palace Museum of the epic good vs. evil tale, The Reamker (Ramayana), which offers a glimpse into the richness of Cambodian culture. Dinh Q. Lê has exhibited and been collected extensively worldwide including Musee Quai Branly, Paris, MoMA New York, The Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, The Venice Biennale, dOCUMENTA, Kassel, The Carnegie Museum Pittsburgh, Asia Society, New York, The San Jose Museum of Art, among many others.

Lê is the most widely recognised Vietnamese artist with exhibitions and collections at MoMA, New York, The Mori Museum and The Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, Japan, The San Jose Museum of Art,The Singapore Art Museum, San Francisco MoMA and currently at The Musee Quai Branly, Paris, among others.
