Opening: Thu 16 Dec, 6 pm
Exhibition: 16 – 30 Dec 2010
Goethe

From Goethe Institut:

The third part of “Hanoi – The City in Art” shows the art works of the Hamburg photographer André Lützen and Hanoi filmmaker Nguyen Trinh Thi.

Another “Germany in Vietnam 2010” event. See our Feature Page for info on more events celebrating German Year on Vietnam.

André Lützen works along the blurred border between private and public life in the Vietnamese capital. In his series PublicPrivate Hanoi the artist plays with the contradictions and paradoxical harmonies of these two poles.

Trinh Thi was born in Hanoi, but spent almost a decade abroad. On her return she found a totally different city, much of which she didn’t recognize. This feeling of alienation is reflected in her video works about her city Hanoi.
