From the organizer:

An art photography project about people, clothes, identity, documentation, curiosity, community and visibility.

For 9 days in April we invited participants to the Work Room Four studio to be photographed in an outfit of their choice.

Participants were asked a series of questions before we photographed them from four different angles. 210 people came to the studio to have their pictures taken and share with us their thoughts about their clothing and sartorial decision making processes.

This wasn’t designed to be a project about fashion, but more a request for trust, pause and consideration, being captured and documented – frozen in a moment. Marking time whilst participating in an anthropological, archiving project and having the generosity to share with us, and subsequently you our audience – how people want to be seen.

This exhibition showcases the process and the images and answers of each one of our participants.

This photography project is designed and organised by Work Room Four in collaboration with 282 Production.

*For those of you who have not visited us before our address is misleading, we are closer to Tây Hồ street on alley 67 than Tô Ngọc Vân*

*If you are travelling from downtown it is better to turn down Tay Ho street and get out of the taxi at Hanoi Sandwich House (48 Đ. Tây Hồ Street), and then walk around the corner to lane 67 where we are located on the right hand side of the lane.
