Pao Houa Hers first major monograph, My grandfather turned into a tiger and other illusions, explores the fundamental concepts of home and belonging: illusion, desire, and loss.Pao Houa Hers work draws inspiration from a myriad of sources: apocryphal family lore; portraits of the artists community and self; and reimagined landscapes, with Minnesota and Northern California standing in for Laos. The compelling and personal narratives are grounded in the traditions and contemporary metaphors of the Hmong diasporic community. My grandfather turned into a tiger brings together four of the artists major series, including the title work which reimagines her familys history before leaving Laos. Other work deals with a scandal within the Hmong community in which hundreds of elders were swindled as part of a fraudulent investment scheme built around the promise of a new Hmong homeland. In another series, tonally rich blackandwhite still lifes of silk flowers collected by her mother are presented alongside images of flowers that adorn the digitally manipulated, hypercolored popular backdrops used in Hmong photo studios and on dating apps. This beautifully designed monograph showcases Hers keen eye on the line between ersatz and authenticity; as the artist has stated, photography is a truth if you want it to be a truth.My grandfather turned into a tiger is the result of the Next Step Award, a partnership between Aperture and Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, in collaboration with the 7G Foundation.Each cover is unique, featuring up to thirtytwo jacket iterations, but is anchored by the same sticker on the front and back.
