ON DISPLAY: Hồng-Ân Trương, Adaptation Fever

4 single channel videos, black and white with sound, 21 minutes.

Exploring the history of French and American colonialism in Vietnam, these videos use found historical footage – all shot on or before 1954, the year that marked the end of French occupation but the beginning of U.S. involvement – to consider postcolonial subjectivity and nostalgia, and the uneasy division between the “mythic” and the “real” past. READ MORE.

On view each evening at dusk and each First Friday.
