''I pointed the lens at myself, I focused it nearby'' <br>
''of the land: faces, place, traces, earth'' [Video (color, sound)] <br>
“I pointed the lens at myself, I focused it nearby” is a research project which considers the lens and its role in articulating notions of identity. The lens acts and is considered as a metaphor for looking and being looked at. Referencing Trinh T. Minh-ha’s philosophy of using the lens to “speak not about identity but to speak nearby,the project examines identity linked to image, place, feeling and personal history.
Through voiceover, the narrator attempts to define her identity as image, place, feeling and belonging. Using the POV of the camera, the narrator traces her relationship to the moving image presented, beginning in colonial figurative representation, getting lost in the abstraction of place through maps, finding an abstract sense of shared kinship in feeling, and, finally, the land itself as a marker of her history.
If VR headset use is possible, a part of the installation can also be an interactive video: https://vimeo.com/563244503/3d0e7ed7d6

'''The Living Room Wars (work-in-progress)'''
 
This is a body of work stemming from the ongoing research of Thy Nguyen about the intergenerational trauma of Vietnamese women (her grandmother and mother) who lived through the many Wars that happened in Vietnam in the 20th century and the rapid socio-cultural as well as infrastructural, economic changes in the 21st century, given the context of Vietnam society in warfare and post-war time.
 
Thy is currently making a creative documentary film based on this research, in which she remixes rarely seen archive footage of the Vietnam conflict (from the point of view of the Vietnamese), documentary interviews, family archives, and newly shot footage and re-enactments. It tells the story of a family trying to reconcile with and take ownership of its story: a story that opens up fresh, personal yet profound perspectives on the Vietnam War.

''#1 Excerpt of The Living Room Wars'' [Video (color, sound)] <br>
Television reduces the space between the battlefield and people at home. That is why the Vietnam War called the Living Room War. It was the first time Americans see the war with their own eyes, in their own home. Broadcasting images of the war helped to end it, but in Vietnam, the war lives on. In the living room of Thy - the filmmaker, in 1975, the bulletin of numerous women looking for her grandfather after the war ends sparks family disputes that go on for decades, shaping the lives of three generations. The film offers multiple intimate gazes into the Vietnam War, trans-generational traumas and the journey towards peace of the three generations of women (and men) hence the name: Grand-Mother-I.
 
 
Western media called the Vietnam War “the Living Room War.” For filmmaker Thy Nguyen’s family, the end of the war in 1975 brought a new war into their living room. The story starts with a Ho Chi Minh TV broadcast: numerous women looking for Thy's grandfather after the war ends spark a series of bitter family disputes which last for generations.

'''Bio'''


Nguyen Ngoc Trang Thy is a Vietnamese photographer and filmmaker based in Rotterdam, NL.  Thy is the first generation that was born in peacetime in her family and she was sent abroad for Western education since 17. Thy’s works mainly scrutinized her own life experience, focus on exploring the concept of home, feeling at home and belonging in a globalising world.


By questioning the meaning of ‘place attachment' when the COVID-19 pandemic reaches the Netherlands, her short film FROM HOME TO HOME (2020) weaves together mysterious images that evoke science fiction cinema to convey the experience of ‘homelessness' in the uncanny and silent Netherlands while longing for her motherland. FROM HOME TO HOME was selected to premiere in the London Lift-Off Film Festival 2021.

''#2 out of sight, out of mind '' [Video (color)] <be>
 
 
CCTV installed in the house allows Thy to care for her mother even though they are thousands of miles apart. But unlike modern communication technology that allows people to communicate with each other, watching her grandmother through CCTV is a passive communication process. It reflects the way women in Thy's family care for each other - observing each other from afar, silently.

We as conscious beings do not want to be forgotten. We do not want to disappear from thoughts and memories, nor do we want our loved ones to meet that same fate. For Thy, scanning, digitising family archives is a way of keeping memories alive, it provides ample opportunity for reflection about ourselves and those whose lives and work will be visible to future generations.

The calm after the storm


The calm after the storm is a confrontation with the medium of photography. The two-part project consists of a text in which I reflect on my own practice and abstract photographs I took in nature. In a diaristic written text, I reflect on my experience during the pandemic, living in a foreign country and ask myself ethical as well as political questions about the position of the medium camera in today´s society. The text reflects in a poetic way on conversations, thoughts, and feelings that occurred during this time and are part of a struggle. The photos, which some perceive as paintings, are the result of a search for calm, quietness, and comfort in nature. Simultaneously, this approach was a way to express my feelings of home in a visual way.

Main tile: In search of (un)mediated particularities of communicative space




The project is a series of experiments in search of (un)mediated particularities of communicative space in video chat. The exhibition will be three installations alongside my thesis presentation in whether paper form or digital. In terms of installation, Compass Video Calling Device is two hand-held devices that audiences are invited to interact with others, they only can see each other when they face each other. The second installation is a Shared Table, an installation to contextualize the action of video chat which encourages people to encounter random or friends in a place I call Shared Table. A table cut in half, one is situated in the indoor space while the other half sits outside the V2. A sleeping mattress will be placed alongside my still image work-Sleeping Together. The work questions the physicality, unification, virtualization of space we intimately shared.

Project description

In this atmospheric short film, a man returns to a gloomy forest in Birmingham, where long ago a mysterious crime was committed. Party photo-roman, partly digital travel report, this short film juxtaposes old forensic photographs with videos shot with a phone of the crime scene as it stands in the current day. A whisper in Hagley Woods reflects on placeness, the apparatus of cinema and on the way ghosts inhabit photographs. It further ambiguously explores the role of the male creator indulging his obsession. He retraces the steps of the murderer as well as the victim… while reminiscing on a past that is shaped through the lens of fictional narratives.

Bio

Jelle Havermans was born in the Netherlands and currently live in Amsterdam. In his current work he reflect on film and it's role in history. Recurring topics are the depiction of violence and (true) crime, cinematic language and the aesthetics of forensic imagery. By mingling fiction with documentary-style investigation, he explores his own obsessions and desires, through the lens of true crime media and horror.

#1 Excerpt of The Living Room Wars [Video (color, sound)]


Western media called the Vietnam War “the Living Room War.” For filmmaker Thy Nguyen’s family, the end of the war in 1975 brought a new war into their living room. The story starts with a Ho Chi Minh TV broadcast: numerous women looking for Thy's grandfather after the war ends spark a series of bitter family disputes which last for generations.

#2 out of sight, out of mind [Video (color)] <be>


CCTV installed in the house allows Thy to care for her mother even though they are thousands of miles apart. But unlike modern communication technology that allows people to communicate with each other, watching her grandmother through CCTV is a passive communication process. It reflects the way women in Thy's family care for each other - observing each other from afar, silently.

We as conscious beings do not want to be forgotten. We do not want to disappear from thoughts and memories, nor do we want our loved ones to meet that same fate. For Thy, scanning, digitising family archives is a way of keeping memories alive, it provides ample opportunity for reflection about ourselves and those whose lives and work will be visible to future generations.

Project description

Project called "unframed". It will be presented as a video installation and will have three chapters. The first chapter subtitled "离" would be shown in V2. It illustrates a situation that in a certain frequency, the body has falling into different parts, they individually build up their own relations with the environment, and randomly interact with each other.

Bio

Muxingye Chen is from Chengdu, China, studied at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam with the Master Program Lens based media.

He works with digital art on an abstract representation of body movement. He uses animation and 3D programming as a kind of extension of the limited body. In this way, he tries to deconstruct, unravel and convert our current image of how we deal with social structure into our individual experience.

Project description Main tile: In search of (un)mediated particularities of communicative space


The project is a series of experiments in search of (un)mediated particularities of communicative space in video chat. The exhibition is three installations alongside my thesis presentation. The first installation, Compass Video Calling Device(2021) is two hand-held devices that audiences are invited to interact with others, they only can see each other when they face each other. The second installation is a Video Chat Cafe(2021), an installation to contextualize the action of video chat which encourages people to encounter random or friends in a place I call a shared table. A table cut in half, one is situated in the indoor space while the other half sits outside the V2. A sleeping mattress will be placed alongside my still image work-Sleeping Together(2021). The work questions the physicality, unification, virtualization of space we intimately shared.

Bio

I am a cross-disciplinary individual who is constantly seeking for innovation in environmental and people-engaging design. As a professional practitioner, I have been designing many practical and conceptual projects for ten years. I also conduct my own practices for exploring new possibilities of space by diverse approaches such as mixed media, spatial art, installation, and photography.

Project description
I'd like to exhibit two videos, single channel:
1. Domani ti dimenticherò meglio (Tomorrow I will forget you better)
2. Baci fantasma (Ghostly kisses)

1. Domani ti dimenticherò meglio (Tomorrow I will forget you better)
Details: 3’, colour, sound, 1920 x 1080, 2019 - 2020
A girl wanders through the streets, the promenade, the reeds of bamboo of a small town in the South of Italy on Google Earth. She revists the places that once saw her tight to her former lover. An intimate confession unravels between aerial visions and street views of the town, spherical panoramas uploaded by the users of Google, and the virtual touch of the cursor on the screen.

2. Baci fantasma (Ghostly kisses)
Details: 19’3’’, colour, sound, 1920 x 1080, 2021
A story of loss, fragility and obsession told through the interface of Google Earth. A girl goes to the city of Rome looking for her lost love. She leaves three red roses behind at each stop she makes, hoping that they will lead her former lover to her. In the light of unresolved desire, the roses become indexical markers of human emotion in a depersonalised digital world of anonymous blurred faces. The voiceover is interspersed with the transcription of a WhatsApp chat that begins with the last and ends with the first message the two sent to each other.
