The workshop will be held in English. | | |  | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | Home in Gia Ðinh - Archive from year 72, Extract from Tropism, Consequences of a displaced memory, study one, 2016–2021 © Nhu Xuan Hua, 2023 | | | | | | An ear in a soup plate, a tangerine that becomes a bomb, an installation with perfectly set but halved tables – the French photographer Nhu Xuan Hua extracts elements from her own biography into her works giving her fashion and editorial photographs a narrative content. In this two-day workshop of the FFF ACADEMY, the artist will teach how to develop picture stories and keep them exciting.
The event is part of the special programme of the current FFF exhibition "NHU XUAN HUA. HUG OF A SWAN", which at the same time offers the best view for the workshop. Nhu Xuan Hua, born in Paris in 1989 to a family of Vietnamese origin, has made her name internationally as a fashion and portrait photographer, particularly because of her unique way of staging her own story(s) in her pictures. | | | | | |  | | | | Installation at Huis Marseille for Hug of a swan © Nhu Xuan Hua, 2023 | | | | | | In 2011, Nhu Xuan Hua completed the photography course at the Auguste Renoir art academy in Paris. A year later she moved to London working as a photographer for large fashion companies such as Kenzo, Maison Margiela, Dior and Levi’s. Characteristic of her commissioned works - and equally of her artistic work - is the concept of narrative.
Under the title "NHU XUAN HUA. HUG OF A SWAN, the FFF" is showing the artist's entire oeuvre for the first time in Germany until April 9, 2023. The exhibition was curated in Huis Marseille, Amsterdam, where it was first shown in a museum in 2022. The show brings together Nhu Xuan Hua’s commissioned and artistic works and shows their close thematic interconnection. In all her installations, objects and photographs, the photographic artist addresses questions of origin, identity and family memories and her own engagement with her Vietnamese heritage.
Her first publication Tropism, Consequences of a displaced Memory was published by Area Books. Based on archival pictures from her family, the digital intervention interprets these memories through a new angle, exploring the effect of dissipation generated by time passing and driven by the forces of an inherited memory. Today the artist is based in Paris.
