From the organizer:

This Sunday afternoon, MYAN will present again at Noirfoto Darkroom-Studio-Gallery her experiment of photography, video and poetry titled “6s.IN.THE.MOMENT.”, which was debuted in a sense “intimate, petite and delicate” in Hanoi last May 2022.

“6s.IN.THE.MOMENT.” is the outcome of her journey to Europe in March-May 2022, presented as part of her artwork series with the theme of moments and time, which was launched by her poetry book «The tick-tocks, the moments » in February – March 2022 in Hoi An and Hanoi.

As we immerse ourselves in “6s.IN.THE.MOMENT.” of MYAN this time, we enter a world almost devoid of people, a world of urban and rural landscapes. We are being taken on a journey, skipping across Europe, from well-known locations to anonymous streets and trees. Where does this journey lead?

To “London, a Monday morning”, to “A walk in Lee Valley”, to “Scotland, spring in the sea”, to “Paris, pluie dans la rue”, to “Lovers’ Amsterdam”, to “A ride in Burgschwalbach”, to “La vue de Fab”, to “Waiting to pick Bärlauch”… ?

MYAN’s journey, back and forth in Europe, through her familiar and unfamiliar places, seems to have no end, as it is in the moment, of serendipity, in the moment of connection and love, in the moment of time and life.

“6s.IN.THE.MOMENT.” is presented in Ho Chi Minh City with the support of Noirfoto Darkroom-Studio-Gallery and Hanoi Grapevine. Previously, this experiment of images and poetry by MYAN was presented in Hanoi from 21-25 May 2022 with the collaboration of Hanoi Grapevine and Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents (TPD).

“6s.IN.THE.MOMENT.” has also enjoyed the support of graphic design by Duong Doan Anh Minh (Tung Tăng Studio) and English consultancy by John Napier.
