Work from Sanctified Clouds.
“Almost 200 small masses of Sanctified Clouds fly over the wall, foam beautifully and shine in a blue hue, the blue of peace, Oriental ceramics, and sacred mosaic paintings in Arabic temples. However, looking closely, we realize that these soft white are not clouds, but actually the masses of dust and smoke bursting all around. Nguyen Phuong Linh collected images of bomb explosions, initially in the Vietnam War, and then gradually expanded to other conflict areas in the Middle East. To emphasize further the insensitive violence of bombing, Phuong Linh cut off the entire context of the photos, leaving only smoke and dust swirling in midair.” – Nguyen Art Foundation
