Being a quarter Vietnamese through her grandfather without inheriting much of his cultural identity, Prune Phi has regretfully witnessed the vanishing of bodily features carrying her family history across each generation. Taking a plastic arts approach to photography, her work, at the crossroads of multiple mediums, attempts to grapple with complex issues of transmission, memory, and hybrid identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2017, Phi sets out on a transcontinental quest to locate the missing parts of her personal history, which results in the two projects Long Distance Call<\/em><\/a> and Appel Manqu\u00e9<\/em><\/a> (Missed Call)<\/em>. Participating in the Villa Saigon residency program in 2020, she seeks to complete Hang Up<\/em>, the final chapter of this visual investigation in the country where she is partly rooted. It all started with a long-distance call to the relatives that she had never met.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
