Tommy Kha: Half, Full, Quarter

Discover the evocative world of Tommy Kha in Half, Full, Quarter, a compelling monograph that intricately weaves self-portraits and bucolic landscapes with East Asian narratives in the American South. Over nearly a decade, Kha captures the unique psycho-geography of his hometown, Memphis - a place he describes as an active borderland between fantasy and memory, nostalgia and history.

This deeply personal work highlights Kha's mother, a Vietnamese refugee who settled in Memphis in the early 1980s. She appears as a recurring character, both as a subject of quiet photographic study and a collaborative muse, symbolizing the intersection of family history and personal identity. "I'm a cut of my mom", Kha states, revealing how every photograph of her serves as a "Half Self-Portrait."
