The Go Explore Vietnam Immersive Art exhibition
presents a selected collection of photography and videography artwork,
featuring different destinations across Vietnam to create an immersive art
space, combined with diverse visual and sound effects such as lighting,
experimental/electronic music and art performances.
“We want to bring the image of Vietnam as well as the Vietnamese
people, art and cultures closer to the world through creative photographs and
videos. Through this art and cultural event, we want to create a chance for
everyone to experience art, including both art lovers and the travel
community,” said Huong Nguyen, a travel blogger and founder of the exhibition
project.
It comprises three main art spaces: Landscapes of Vietnam, Humans
of Vietnam, and Life in Vietnam. Visitors can admire landscape photography
featuring gorgeous travel destinations in Vietnam shot by drone cameras,
portraits of Vietnamese people, photographed by international artists who have
travelled throughout the country; and typical daily life in the country’s
various regions, reflecting a mixture of traditional and modern influences.
Sound and visual elements take visitors to different places across
Vietnam. They can better discover interesting stories of the life and people in
Vietnam through the filming of scenes and photographs.
The exhibition display artworks by Vietnamese
and international artists from different countries, including well-known French
photographer Réhahn. He was ranked one of the top 10 portrait photographers in
the world and the second most popular French photographer on the internet,
having been to over 35 countries and is currently living in Hoi An city.
“I’ve been in almost all provinces in Vietnam to take photos and
show others how beautiful the country is. The more I travel, the more I am
proud of living in Vietnam,” said 24 year-old Pham Phu Nghia who brings to the
show several photos of Vietnam taken from above.
This exhibition is a part of Go Explore,
a non-profit community project aiming to promote Vietnam’s tourism, art and
culture. The project was launched by travel bloggers and videographers, local
companies and travellers across Vietnam.
Go Explore’s team has travelled around the
country to produce 10 short videos promoting 10 destinations, photos and
articles to market Vietnam tourism in a fun, and creative way. They have also
organised three travel-themed events in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi to
encourage Vietnamese people to travel more, and guide like-minded travellers on
how to combine their passion for travelling and working remotely.
The exhibition runs
