Nhu Xuan Hua: Of Walking on Fire

Nhu Xuan Hua (b.1989) is a French artist and photographer of Vietnamese heritage. Working at the intersection of art and fashion photography, she reflects on the fragility of how stories are communicated – or withheld – across generations.

With Of Walking on Fire, rooted in language’s inability to fully convey complex family histories, Hua reimagines archival photographs from her family’s time in Vietnam and their early years in Europe. These uncanny, dreamlike compositions echo how memory within the diaspora can splinter, blur and slip from view.
