Binh Danh reconfigures traditional photographic techniques and processes in unconventional ways to delve into the connection between history, identity, and place. Danh is noted for his contemporary daguerreotypes of national parks. Their reflective surfaces enable people of all backgrounds to see themselves as a part of the beauty of the American landscape. His work is in the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the National Gallery of Art, Washington; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the San Jose Museum of Art, among others. “Binh Danh: The Enigma of Belonging” was the inaugural recipient of the Minami Book Grant for Asian American Visual Artists at Radius Books in 2023. He is an associate professor of art at San José State University.
