Melissa Nguyen (Vic) presents new work in the West Space Window.
Water Street by Night is a print-based painting exploring Vietnam's relationship with replication and mechanical reproduction through methods of appropriation.
With source imagery from the Vietnamese Cabaret Show, Paris by Night, the work uses bootleg aesthetics as a filter to consider notions of Orientalism and Western perceptions, diasporic cultural experiences, and personal nostalgia.
