murmur: The 3rd year Anniversary of VAC

Read with us 16: Photography as Relation

Sóng Sánh Café

As a photographer whose practice is grounded in an intercultural perspective and shaped through collaborative processes, I chose relation as the thread connecting this selection. After studying the collection at Matca, I found many similarities with Sugar Paper, an independent cultural space dedicated to contemporary photography and the photobook that I co-founded in my hometown of Modena, Italy, in 2023. Perhaps both grew from a shared belief in the photobook as a powerful platform for bringing different perspectives into dialogue, while also questioning the established narratives through which we understand the world.

In 2009, battling severe illness and sensing the twilight of his life, Vu Dan Tan embarked on a deeply personal tribute to his father—the illustrious playwright and publisher, Vu Dinh Long. He painted a series of portraits, capturing the visages of the literary icons whose works were once brought to light by his father’s legendary publishing house, Tan Dan.
