Duy Nguyen
Duy Nguyen is a Vietnamese-Norwegian artist. He explores diasporic memories and how they affect personal and collective experiences, often with an inward gaze, and a poetic voice. His practice touches upon issues of cultural identity and mental health. Duy looks at his process as a reflection of his internal mind, rather than the documentation of the outside world. Through his work, he aims to rewrite and archive immigrant stories, while raising awareness of mental health issues faced by the Asian diaspora.
Duy has been exhibited both nationally and abroad, including at Høstutstillingen (Oslo), Østlandsutstillingen (Drammen), Liquida Photo Festival (Turin), Spinnerei Autumn Gallery Tour (Leipzig), Kösk Gallery (Oslo), Karmøy Kunstforening (Karmøy), PH21 Gallery (Budapest), 706 Youth Space (Beijing), and more. He was selected for Fresh Eyes in 2022 by Gup Magazine. In 2024 he will hold his first solo exhibition in Oslo at Fotografiens Hus.
