Presented by the ROSEGALLERY in Santa Monica, The Luminescence of Memory consists of a selection of daguerrotypes taken by Binh Danh at various US National Parks, such as Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and Yosemite National Parks. Beyond these beautiful silvered landscapes, Danh uses the National Parks as a way to explore his experience having immigrated to the United States from Vietnam as a child. In a way, these daguerreotypes visualize a new expedition into these outdoor landscapes. The solarized skies and glimpses of reflection carry an invisible aura that seems to meander through the dense history of the place. Time and dimension are synthesized into the iridescent and polished surfaces that create more than just an image of a scenic viewpoint, but a marker of acceptance and belonging.
