«Like the way its title brings to mind processes of mineral crystallisation and rock formulation, Lý Trang’s second full-length release ‘Syenite’ accumulates elements from all of her times past.

Unstanding Water

“The repetition of freezing water droplets, until the ice and the water gradually run out, leads me to measure and unconsciously feel time with each drops passing.

Look Closer

Vang Vảng

Between the stops, my character steps into the border between the real and the spiritual. My character straddles (non)existence, meaning(lessness), and is any person.

Missing A-Luong Db

«In every land are ongoing dialogues» – as Anne Spirn said. And for Lý Trang a way to get close to inherent but invisible things is to listen to them.

Projects

Lý Trang’s debut short film ‘Sisyphus’s Cat’ takes off as the starting point of the search for a lost pet across parallel universes. In the memory of the author’s dead cat, Trang represented her effort to look for the cat through the idea of chasing immortality and escaping death. She “cheated” on death by transferring her soul to the future, where people live inside the body of nonstop-working servers and no one can die. When she succeeded, the author’s mission had become her own forced manual labor, and anything else she does for the purpose of earning for a living has become an endless task in this immortal world. The author thus poses one question, maybe two: “Is she going through her punishment like Sisyphus? Does immortality come together with freedom’s responsibility?”
