Roots & Worlds – In between Sound, Image, and Space: A Mycological Moving Image Practice

Description

In this presentation, Nguyễn Trinh Thi will introduce her film and media art practice, covering topics of experimentation in non-fiction filmmaking and mix-media/inter-medial art projects with particular regards to landscape, sound and listening. Her films often combine her own recorded footage with found footage from news sources, documentaries, and the internet to address Vietnamese issues against a universal backdrop. Thi will share works made during the past 10 years, including Landscape series (2013), Letters from Panduranga (2015), How to Improve the World (2021), And They Die a Natural Death (2022), and her two current works – 47 Days, Sound-less and Rî s̄eīyng.

Keywords include film, video, moving image, documentary, sound, space, performance, landscape, history, memory, found footage, archive, indigenous, ecology, environment.
