The main idea of the Quang Lam’s work in this exhibition is to explore the concept of the Far-East Asia in which Saigon and Singapore were essential nodes for its representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From wikipedia about: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe term first came into use in European geopolitical discourse in the 15th century, particularly the British, denoting the Far East as the “farthest” of the three “Easts”, beyond the Near East and the Middle East.[..] Significantly, the term evokes cultural as well as geographic separation; the Far East Asia is not just geographically distant, but also culturally exotic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With time and the technological impact, how can the perception of the \u201cFar\u201d Asia remain or evolve, from a geographical point of view to some more diverse perspectives as the historical colonization to the advent of the new virtual space of the metaverse <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quang Lam artworks are based on archives, maps of Asia and photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
