To begin with, a place: real or imaginary, anonymous or distinguishable, sought out, reconstructed, or exist as possibilities. Then comes photography, and image-making as a way to establish a personal connection with places. The sense of place runs like a common thread throughout Loan Nguyen\u2019s prolific body of work, prompting reflections on origins and belonging along the threshold between the interior and the exterior, the personal and the collective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loan Nguyen was born in Lausanne, Switzerland to a Vietnamese father and a Swiss mother. In her lens-based practice, autobiography is a central theme. Instead of investigating her genealogies or retracing objective historical facts, she incorporates a slightly fictive dimension in her work, weaving her own stories with others\u2019 accounts into a polyphonic tale. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
