Anh-Phuong Nguyen — also known as AP Nguyen (b. 1999, Vietnam), lives in London and works between the UK and Vietnam. Nguyen’s multi-disciplinary practice explores the prevailing cliches associated with the architecture, object-hood and personification of tourism and hospitality in parallel to land excavation, extraction and subsequent artificiality. Working across sculpture, installation and video, whilst navigating the realms of high and low art, humour and seriousness, she sheds light on the intricate narratives of desire undergirding souvenir objects and the construction of fantasy worlds and characters for foreign consumption.
Based in London, UK
