DescriptionThis is a platinum print from three pinhole negatives. It depicts a temple in Vietnam in the form of a triptych. The first section shows an old tree and a brick fence in the background. The second and third prints in the triptych show the temple: the second has the entrance and surrounding garden, and the third has a corner of the temple, emphasizing the surrounding vegetation. The effect of the triptych is panoramic, showing the temple, the pathway, and garden around it.ProvenanceCraig J. Barber, 1997-2001; Chrysler Museum of Art Purchase, 2001.
