Phung-Tien Phan: Half Moon, 11m, 2019

Phung-Tien Phan is a visual artist who explores contemporary ways of life in a post-migrant and neoliberal society. In her sculptural and cinematic works, she is addressing issues of privilege, consumption, and shifting identity. She lives and works in Essen, Germany.

In Half Moon Phung-Tien Phan mixes home video sequences with diaristic footage and quotations from films and music. The line between filming oneself and being filmed, between being oneself and playing a role, becomes increasingly blurred. Excerpt of Frieze Art Cologne 2019 Critics Guide by Moritz Schepers.
