“My hands hold tight to my grandfather's hands. The ship leaves the harbor and takes me into the cold sea air. I remember my grandparents standing at the gate of the harbor. The ship is leaving, and I have left my love, my world, my home, my feelings at the port.”
Initiated with her own reminiscence, 'Diary of love' - Quynh Dong's latest video artwork is an experimentation to explore the concept of love.
This work focuses on the intersection of images from the mass culture archive, as well as the exploration and integration of painting, sculpture, performance, and moving images. Conceptually, the artist raises the question of the evaluation of art through the medium of moving images. How does one tell an emotion in a story? What narratives belong to film, and how does one handle the narrative of a story in art, particularly the narrative of the story as sculpture?
