Vin Gallery

11 Street 55, Thao Dien ward, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Vin Gallery is pleased to announce “La mémoire dans la peau” (Memory in the Skin) by French artist, Frederic Dialynas Sanchez. Frederic’s (b. 1983) latest project is both a personal journey exploring his Vietnamese heritage, and a reappropriation of post-war memories and their contemporary afterlife. The journey of searching and creating this body of work is a metaphor for how people are still finding new ways to (re)constitute their realities, even decades after war.
