{"product_id":"exilee-and-temps-morts-selected-works-9780520391598","title":"Exilee and Temps Morts: Selected Works","description":"In her radical exploration of cultural and personal identity, the writer and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha sought \"the roots of language before it is born on the tip of the tongue.\" Her first book, the highly original postmodern text \u003ci\u003eDictee, \u003c\/i\u003e is now an internationally studied work of autobiography. This volume, spanning the period between 1976 and 1982, brings together Cha's previously uncollected writings and text-based pieces with images. \u003ci\u003eExilee \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTemps Morts\u003c\/i\u003e are two related poem sequences that explore themes of language, memory, displacement, and alienation--issues that continue to resonate with artists today. Back in print with a new cover, this stunning selection of Cha's works gives readers a fuller view of a major figure in late twentieth-century art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Copublished by Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheresa Hak Kyung Cha\u003c\/b\u003e (1951-1982) was a poet, filmmaker, and artist who earned her BA and MA in comparative literature and her BA and MFA in art from the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eConstance M.
