who is arlette?
Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần is an artist based in Saigon. Working across moving image, installation, performance, sound, and sculpture, she builds temporal laboratories in which political dreams encounter bodies, materials, and ritual. Her work draws on obsolete technologies, utopian projects, and unfinished Third World imaginaries to explore how different temporalities coexist—as collective desire, anticipation, sacrifice, and disappearance.
She co-founded the Art Labor collective, which operates at the intersection of visual art, social and life sciences through long-term projects in diverse public contexts and locales.
