A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Glasgow School of Art, Thu Van Tran was born in 1979 in Ho Chi Minh City and fled with her family to France in 1981. Marked by this exile, the artist has created a body of work that includes photographs, drawings, films, sculptures and installations that she brings together in situ to form a grand narrative that raises questions about our ability to remember the history, rituals and legacies of countries and nations.
