Where do we come from? How do we define ourselves? Are we the product that we created? These are the questions which Duong Thuy Duong wants, together with the viewers,to try to reflect in this exhibition.

Taking the novel "Immortality" by author Milan Kundera as the point of departure - a story about love, the creator and the world, Duong Thuy Duong began her journey by creating dream images that captivated her soul. For the Exhibition at Mo Art Space, Thuy Duong invites viewers to take a deeper look into a world of the unknown through her new oil on canvas paintings, which she had been working on over the past 3 years. From luminous, fluorescent landscapes, disobeying the physical and chemical rules to the constantly changing, redefining of human corporalities and identities, Duong Thuy Duong opens dialogues and expresses her point of view about the paradox of our evolution intertwining with the development of technologies. 

The world which Duong Thuy Duong created reflects her artistic language, freed from the social norms and a part from what we know about life or politics: A planet, where each and everyone is their own creation. Throughout two series “Over the Blue Planet”, “The Strangeness of Human” and many other collective works, Thuy Duong carefully gives her attention to the details to construct complex visuals of movements, and textures.
