PRUNE PHI
After completing a Fine Arts degree and a Master degree in Contemporary Curatorial Practice, Art practice and Art theories at the Université Le Mirail (Toulouse, France) and the Birmingham Institute of Arts and Design (UK), Prune Phi was accepted at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie d’Arles (France) from which she graduated in 2018.
Prune Phi creates installations made from photographs, drawings, collages, collected documents, texts and videos. She depicts and questions the mechanisms of transmission within families and communities. She is interested in the physical traits that persist, or on the contrary, that are diluted from one generation to another through changes in the body. In other ensembles, she collects and weaves together the testimonies of several generations of Vietnamese immigrants about their sometimes unclear, memories of common history. She looks to reveal, through these different works, the mnemonic markers that participate in the constructions and inventions of each individual.
