Tran Luong (Hanói, 1960)
Tran Luong’s practice spans painting, installation, and performance art. The artist came to international prominence as part of a group of artists called the Gang of Five, and was responsible for leading the development of contemporary art in Vietnam in the late 1980s and early ’90s. His video installation Lập Lòe (2012) features the red scarf—an item of historical and political significance associated with communism—waving, floating, and being snapped against the artist’s body.
Lives and works in Hanói.
Lap Loe (2012)
The uncertain fates.
The lightnings before the storm.
The fireflies or the wars that were seen from the long distance…
Suddenly flared up, as the efforts of the ashes before wenting out.
And the efforts of the ashes before wenting out.
