category<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguy\u1ec5n Ng\u1ecdc H\u1ea3i began shooting film photography in 2018. He currently works as a freelance wedding photographer and occasionally as a BTS photographer for independent films. His personal projects are centered on people from his everyday life, as a means of expressing how he sees and relates to the world. He is largely self-taught, having learned photography through practical experience and short workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">In the ongoing work Home (2020\u2013present), H\u1ea3i returns to his hometown, \u201ca desolate little town nestled beneath the aging Tr\u01b0\u1eddng S\u01a1n mountain range\u201d, after years of working in Saigon. Witnessing the rapid transformation of a place he once thought he knew so well, H\u1ea3i begins revisiting familiar sites, documenting what still remains and what is soon to disappear. The project is a personal act of preserving memories while also reflecting the shifting economic and environmental landscape of a locale in central Vietnam.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>H\u1ea3i will receive 10,000,000 VND and mentorship from artist, curator Tr\u01b0\u01a1ng Qu\u1ebf Chi to realize a solo exhibition at Matca Space for Photography.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jadenguyenth\/\"

writes about the visual cultures of Southeast Asia and its representations. His work has appeared in Art&amp;Market, SGIFF, PR&amp;TA, and Matca. He co-runs Monsoon Review, an online site dedicated to examining contemporary and historical production of cultures in Southeast Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">In a 1969 article published in a local magazine, veteran photographer Nguy\u1ec5n Cao \u0110\u00e0m stated that domestic photo exhibitions rarely reflected the perspective of soldiers, despite some participating photographers having served in the military. He attributed this to the fact that photographers were more accustomed to pictorial conventions tied to civilian life. Notably, he opposed violent spectacles of the Vietnam War popularized by the Western press, advocating instead for the photographer-soldier's personal perspectives and artistically informed approaches to portraying war. Taking this as a point of departure, \u0110an will conduct further research through historical publications to explore lesser-known cases of non-combat photography in pre-1975 Vietnam, shedding light on the distinctive sensibility of war photography among Vietnamese art photography circles.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0110an will receive 10,000,000 VND and mentorship from writer, researcher Zhuang Wubin to realize a series of texts in English and Vietnamese.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-css-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>The Matca Creation Grant is an initiative by Matca that supports photography projects from Vietnam&#8217;s local community.
