‘Mất mặt’ with Nhi Le & other performers Collective Performance
2022 Reduplication Words Cái Project Uom Art Hub Saigon Vietnam
how easy it is to
remember, to
forget?
how many faces have we
seen?
I met my friend, Nhi Le after coming back from Côn Đảo island. While talking with her, the images of people that I have encountered from the past just appear in such a ghostly way. I didn’t know what was happening at the day after our conversation but it touched her. We collaborated with around 20 other artists later to perform together.
The performance title means “lost face”.
You can choose to step in and step out of the performance room as you like, and stay still on a chair, as so for the performers.
It lasts for about 8 hours continuously.
