REINCARNATIONS of SHADOWS

2023-ongoing, evolving, transforming

Multi-channel video installation, drawings, scenography elements by Thao Nguyen Phan and selected works by Diem Phung Thi

There is an old song that says:

“the brushwood we gather—stack it together,

it makes a hut;

pull it apart, a field once more.”

Such is my way of thinking.

I find beauty not in the thing itself

but in the patterns of shadows,

the light and the darkness,

that one thing against another creates.
