Reminder: X-Seconds

20 – 22 Jan
Goethe, Hanoi
30 Jan
University of Fine Arts, Hue

Possibly one of the best video art projects of the year by HanoiLink, in collaboration with artists from the Hue University of Fine Arts.

This super short film project was made over a period of 7 months in many different places and towns around Vietnam, such as Hue, Saigon, Hanoi, Quan Tri, Phu Quoc, Tho Ha, An Bang… It gathers 14 artists and collects 104 silent super short films, each with a duration of less than 30 seconds. It requres 22 projectors, 22 DVD players and 500 meters worth of cable to fill the 5 surfaces of the exhibiting space, turning it into a storm of 16 thousand interactive images. We see images of the significant and important, as well as the short-lived and small – just like the life we’re living in.

More information on the exhibition and artist talk can be found in this previous post on HanoiGrapevine.
