Catalogue > At random

A man’s presence through his silhouette. Corporeality as a form of existence. A substance. In and out of the frame. Life is a form of maintenance, endurance, and tolerance, inside and outside the body. Events or incidents, like blows of any intensity, make rhythms. A man whose face can’t be seen. And his face is the only thing that he can’t refuse and can’t hide. Life is elsewhere. And life is here.

Truong Que Chi works in Hanoi in both visual art and cinema, as an artist, a curator and a lecturer. Her works begin along the borders between cinema, literature, architecture, performance and sound — a search for a landscape, a mise-en-scène, in relation to space-time. Since 2015 Que Chi has been part of the curatorial board of Nhà Sàn Collective, as well as lecturing at the Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema.
