Quynh Dong is a performance and video-based Vietnamese contemporary
artist whose work adopts a romantic perspective to challenge the cliche
aesthetic. Following her first show in Singapore - a solo exhibition titled
“Long Journey” - the video work “Late Autumn” will be on display for the
first time in an international art fair.

Inspired by the film “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring” by director
Kim Ki-Duk, the work aims to illustrate the range of deciduous states of
leaves falling in autumn. Referring to nature as a metaphor for the Buddhist
notion of reincarnation, the perfomance refers to the circle of life. During a
period of seasonal transition, the artist performs within the work to imitate
this naturally occurring act. Referring to the body as a material, similar
in nature to that of clay, each static pose fades in and out of presence.
The work is contextualised within a hyperreal setting, oblivious of space
and the passing of time. Additionally, it serves as a romantic indication,
or rather exotic idea of what may be defined as Asia. The video artwork
is complemented by a selectively composed audio soundtrack, featuring
a violin duet that consists of two different melodic lines, each playing
repeatedly to create a monotonous yet ritualistic atmosphere.
