Phuong Thao

Phuong Thao is an artist and filmmaker from Hanoi. She works in France, Germany and Vietnam. Her works follow the trails of people, stories, and objects through cultural and political borders, hitherto forming a series of portraits situating each one in the current of history.  

She’s experimented with non-fiction in many forms: documentaries, fiction, installation and literature. Her deep interest in the human experience and its conflicts with the socio-political questions of the time has led her towards her most important collaborators: non-actors—or, in other words, complete strangers. She allows herself and her collaborators to be open, sensitive to the endless fluctuations and patterns of meaning around them. They move forward looking out for signs, for idiosyncrasies.

Phuong Thao is experimenting on more intentioned, written, choreographed forms for her future projects.
