Based on thorough research and interviews, Lê throws light on history as it is told through actual personal experiences.

In The Farmers and the Helicopters (2006), the video installation that made Lê’ s name known to the world, Lê cleverly depicts the complex relationship between the Vietnamese people and war by focusing on a Vietnamese man who attempts to develop his own helicopter. Light and Belief: Sketches of Life from the Vietnam War (2012), presented at the previous documenta in Kassel, comprises 100 drawings and watercolors by former war artists together with a video that vividly recalls the youth these artists spent in wartime.
