(Mit)einander – Nhu Xuan Hua and the Collection of the Fotomuseum Winterthur

Description

With the second edition of (Mit)einander, the Fotomuseum Winterthur continues the dialogue between collection and contemporary artists. The French-Vietnamese photographer Nhu Xuan Hua (*1989) engages in exchange with works from the collection. Hua lives in Paris and works between Paris and London for international fashion houses such as Dior, Maison Margiela, Kenzo, and Gucci, as well as for magazines like Vogue, TIME, and Dazed Beauty. Her multidisciplinary practice deals with the construction of memory, the feeling of uprooting, and the legacy of the diaspora. Her first publication, Tropism, Consequences of a Displaced Memory (Area Books), is based on family archives. She explores the interplay of memory, time, and digital transformation, questioning how memories, emotions, and traumas are both transmitted and lost. Between narrative and conceptual imagery, enhanced by mixed media, Hua develops surreal, dreamlike images that open the imagination and counteract forgetting. Works from the collection of the Fotomuseum Winterthur by Richard Avedon, Nobuyoshi Araki, Alan Belcher, Balthasar Burkhard, JH Engström, Ralph Gibson, Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Rinko Kawauchi, Duane Michals, Aldo Sessa, Rolf Winnewisser are exhibited.
