Pao Houa Her‘s first major monograph, “My grandfather turned into a tiger ... and other illusions,” explores the fundamental concepts of home and belonging: illusion, desire, and loss.
For our February 2024 Aperture PhotoBook Club gathering, Aperture executive director Sarah Meister and Pao Houa Her joined Jil Weinstock, executive director, Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York; Alex Lin, book designer; and past Next Step Award recipient Tommy Kha.
