Lêna Bùi
Lêna Bùi (b. 1985, Vietnam) graduated from Wesleyan University in 2007 with a BA in East Asian Studies and has lived and worked in Saigon since 2009. Her works are both amusing anecdotes and in-depth articulations of the impact of rapid development on people’s relationship with nature and their surroundings. She reflects on ways that intangible aspects of life, such as faith, death and dreams, influence behaviour and perception. She often relies on drawing and video but is open to whatever medium she perceives as appropriate to a work.
Her work has been shown in solo, group exhibitions and screening programmes such as Delfina Foundation, London; Monograph 2023 by Asian Film Archive; 2022 Jeju Biennale, the Asia Culture Center, South Korea; Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE; Sàn Art and The Factory Contemporary Art Center, Vietnam; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Germany; and the Wellcome Collection, London.
