Thủy Tiền Nguyễn
Thủy Tiền Nguyễn was born in 1993 in Hanoi, Vietnam. She lives and works in Hanoï, Vietnam and Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Nguyen's artistic practice revolves around the transformation of personal and collective memories, examining how they are distorted, translated, and reconstructed over time. Her recent works explore the concept of home and disciplines, often portraying fragmented and ambiguous impressions of domestic objects and how their relationships manifest within and beyond ordinary daily life. Whether through the use of objects, installations, photography, or situations, her practice often takes on the appearance of accidental occurrences or their remnants, leaving behind hints and a sense of disorientation in the spaces she engages with.
Tien's work has been presented in numerous institution including Gaswork, London, UK, 2026; Thailand Biennale, Phuket, Thailand, 2025; Frankfurter Kunstverein, 2025; RAY Triennale at Museum Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2024; Documenta15, Stadtmuseum, Kassel, Germany, 2023.
