Vietnamese-American artist Diane Severin Nguyen premieres an entirely new body of work at Haus der Kunst, centred on a new film and accompanied by photography, sculpture and a participatory kinetic installation. The exhibition extends Nguyen’s inquiry into the politics of victimhood and what the artist calls “the double bind of the sentimental gaze” where brutalised subjects are simultaneously encouraged and punished for expressions of vulnerability. She asks how perceptions of war and violence become part of contemporary selfhood.
