From Biennale Photo Hanoi:
As part of Photo Hanoi ’25, photographer and curator Nguyễn Thế Sơn presents an exhibition that highlights emerging talents actively engaged in contemporary photographic practice. The showcase brings together a selection of works by students who have taken Thế Sơn’s fine art photography courses over the years—many of whom come from diverse creative backgrounds, including fine arts, design, and other artistic disciplines. Their work reflects bold and experimental explorations of the photographic medium.
Aiming to expand the understanding of photography’s role within Vietnamese contemporary art, the exhibition encourages young artists not only to develop their own visual language, but also to explore photography as a tool for personal artistic expression. At the same time, it stands as an open invitation to creativity and experimentation—at a moment when photography is becoming increasingly embedded in the fabric of contemporary art.
25 young artists are featured in the exhibition, representing a generation with diverse, dynamic approaches to photography as a medium of expression. Through their unique perspectives, these works invite viewers to engage with photography not merely as a tool for documentation, but as a rich, expressive language—one that reveals new layers of meaning, nuance, and ways of seeing the world.
