Press Release

Memory of the Wound reflects on the entangled histories between beauty and destruction, and on how nature remembers what we choose to forget. The installation brings together fragments from my most recent works, Scent from Heaven and Garden of Entanglement, alongside new materials which I will gather during my residency at DECK. Through video, metal prints, and organic matter collected from the surrounding environment, the exhibition explores how trees and landscapes carry traces of human presence - from the physical wounds of cultivation to the invisible scars left by data, memory, and care.

Hiền Hoàng is a Vietnamese German interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, ecology, and material research. Her practice investigates how matter records violence, care, and memory. By combining scientific instruments with intimate observation, Hoàng develops methods that reveal material transformations as forms of witnessing.

Her projects have been exhibited internationally at Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam, Les Rencontres d’Arles, CentroCentro Cibeles in Madrid, Epica Fundacion Barcelona, and other major media arts festivals. In 2024 she received the Paul Huf Award, which led to her first institutional solo exhibition at Foam.
