Part of Photo Hanoi’21 at Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), Hanoi, Vietnam.

In an era defined by a global pandemic and rapid technological advancements, we find ourselves drifting further apart—both physically and emotionally. The artists featured in this exhibition have chosen to respond to this disconnection, transforming photography into a powerful methodology for cultivating connection and community.

Some artists experiment with alternative photographic processes, deepening their relationship with nature and their immediate surroundings. Others explore photography’s expanded possibilities to uncover and strengthen bonds within families and national identities. Still, others engage in careful observation and introspection, subtly exposing the paradoxes embedded within our social fabric.

To navigate the diverse processes and materialities that define contemporary photography is to embrace the profound richness and complexity of human experience. The empathy and depth embodied in the works presented stand as a testament to the multifaceted beauty, resilience, and interconnectedness of being human.
