VietNamNet Bridge – Vol De Nuit, Night Flight has finally opened at the HCMC Fine Arts Museum.

Visitors enjoy ‘Vol De Nuit, Night Flight’ at HCMC Fine Arts Museum. 

The hugely-anticipated collaborative art installation in a variety of mediums, features works by Japanese artist Daisuke Terashima, Vietnamese duo Tran Minh Duc and Nguyen Kim To Lan and Kawayan de Guia from the Philippines.

The show brings together four artists with their own unique methods, techniques, and media approaches into one shared exhibition space, aiming to push towards new horizons of exploration by creating an atmosphere where curiosity suspends viewers’ perceptions of reality.

Lan’s photographs and paintings of clouds circumnavigate the exhibition space, literally creating an artificial horizon.

Terashima uses his multilayered experiments on paper to emphasize the endless process of layering and erasing to create a tension between depth and flatness, echoing the deterioration and improvement of the natural order.

De Guia references the radio-shaped, cement spittoons that were placed along the roads in his mountain city home in the 1950s so the betel-nut chewing enthusiasts from the surrounding villages would have a proper place to expectorate the blood-red remnants of their pastime.

Duc’s installation features a vintage parachute dyed in pink. It lies indolently like a dream and can be a moment of anyone’s memory, a dream land, or a weigh station in an endless journey of self-discovery. The work solicits memories of the past and a bright outlook for the future.

The show finishes up on Thursday at the museum, 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1.
