The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon | Screening and Artist Sharing

Join us for special screening of The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon (2022), held in conjunction with the opening of the latest Roof Garden Commission, Temple, by artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen. The film’s narratives and trajectories are deeply connected to Temple. It centers on a speculative narrative of Nguyệt, a young woman who scavenges unexploded ordnance (UXO) found in central Vietnam. As the story unfolds, we follow Nguyệt’s journey where she transforms the scrap metals into kinetic sculptures, tuning what once were instruments of destruction into agents of healing. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artist and his collaborators, Lê Nghĩa and Hồ Văn Lai, moderated by curator Cheng Jia Yun. Together, they will investigate how Temple as well as The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon reflect on the power of material to hold memory and undergo transformation for healing.
