Series – Escape

by photographer Quang Lam

Category : Viễn tưởng   

history cinematic escape

There are many reasons to want to escape.

This full series develops in the form of fictional narratives, a punctual situation where the protagonist will escape for a new life due to historical circumstances, political, economic or purely personal.

The photos incorporate a narration, signs, clues that make it possible to feel the vital necessity of this decision. Its urgency is reinforced by the title of each scene.

In the scene of “Pattern of thoughts”, the theme of the psychological maze is explored through patterns of doors (Thy Nguyen Truong Minh Installation), corridors, rooms, and stairs in buildings of Saigon.

In the “Smoke at the horizon” scene, the Man is looking at smoke in the distance, a violent past but also souvenirs of his native land he wants maybe to retrieve.

Synopsis was written for some scenes, but only after the photos were made. On making of, it is therefore a purely photographic process based on the intuition of the moment but drawing its inspiration from the personal experience of the photographer who has been a political refugee.

Following the end of the Vietnam War, Vietnamese people experienced a significant episode of exodus. This was the beginning of the first diaspora that swarmed them around the world.

All the characters in this fictional series are Vietnamese. The shots were taken in France, Taiwan and Vietnam marking the wide geographical space of this event but also the double culture acquired lately in their new country.

The use of fiction allows to leave a room of a timeless imagination so that the spectator can investigate himself the physical or psychological necessity to flee.

From this personal examination, he will find a better understanding of the phenomenon of migration, a major issue in our contemporary world.
