"When Tan engaged this project, she conceived of an artist book separate from the installations. The book has three components (a volume of images, and two volumes of Japanese and English text). Tans work explores identity, memory, and history, and as she addresses these themes, she also examines the nature of the gaze itself. Responding to the distinctive world Tan creates through her work, a variety of insightful contributors expand upon Tans thinking from multiple perspectives."--NOHARA's website
