Again, Forever brings together works by seven artists, all born in 1996. Spanning painting, sculpture, video, and installation, the works presented here are the artists’ most recent creations: scattered experiments and ideas that have only now found room to take shape. They converge through the gathering and excavation of memory. An image that recurs in the mind, a lingering yet indistinct feeling, or thoughts held close about a person, a place, or a past experience—the intimate spontaneity of these fragments has guided the exhibition toward the most private spaces of each artist.
Vũ Diệu Hương recalls hazy memories of hardship within her family and distills them into the image of three small candles enclosed within a large one. Thảo Bùi turns the camera toward the shifting gaze between himself and his father. While Đặng Thuỳ Anh sketches and writes about the sweet gloom she carries, Trịnh Cẩm Nhi paints the quiet intimacy of words that have yet to be spoken.
Moving at a different rhythm, Chiêu Dương uses lacquer to excavate butterfly-shaped artifacts in an attempt to grasp the spiritual realm. Lê Hoàng Nam Phương explores the capacity of visual systems to observe, remember, and imagine through paintings of a peculiar cemetery near her home. Through reflection and selection, Phạm Minh Hiếu contemplates the self and the continuous unfolding of time, without beginning or end.
Through these distinct concerns, the exhibition moves from personal recollection and collective memory toward a deeper contemplation of reality and its uncertainties. 1996 – 2026: what do thirty years mean when childhood still feels so recent? Again, forever is an act of mutual support and reflection among friends of the same generation as they make their way along this shared passage.
