For the last two years, Ch\u00e2u has been collecting garments that were dumped in unidentified containers scattered around docks in Saigon, particularly C\u00e1t L\u00e1i dock. V\u00f5 Tr\u00e2n Ch\u00e2u recalls feeling puzzled by the excessive production of the fashion industry and its impact on the environment, particularly on developing countries who are the major production houses of the industry. The artist questions the consequences of developing\u2019 at all costs, she said in an informal interview: \u201cMonetary gains have blinded people. Will we be able to see the soul of a city anymore?\u2026 What will be left of a city if not its cultural identity?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the works featured in this exhibition, V\u00f5 Tr\u00e2n Ch\u00e2u recycles these unwanted clothes by transforming them into a number of hanging mosaic \u2018paintings\u2019, many of them depicting sites that no longer exist, such as textile factories in Nam \u0110\u1ecbnh, Saigon Tax Trade Center, Tr\u00e0 C\u1ed5 cathedral, to name but a few. Working with the digital photographs of these sites, Ch\u00e2u turns these photographs into pixel graphs, which she uses as a foundation to recreate mosaics by sewing color-coded fabric squares together. By reconstructing architectural structures and symbols that have completely or partially disappeared from public memory, the artist contemplates how cultural identity is pictured and remembered. This exhibition is a journey of remembering lost things, weaving memories in a craft-based manner \u2013 a meticulously gradual process in contrast to the speed of disappearance of historical architecture in the face of urban development.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>V\u00f5 Tr\u00e2n Ch\u00e2u, one of the very few artists in Vietnam merging methods of weaving, photography and textile, is presenting her largest solo show to date at The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre.
