Phung-Tien Phan's Everyday Objects
Phung-Tien Phan, a Vietnamese-German artist, creates sculptures and videos exploring the social importance of everyday objects.
Her work highlights how roles are played out in public and private settings, emphasizing intentional choices of cultural references that shape our surroundings.
Her first solo show with the gallery, and her debut in Japan, features new sculptures created on-site using objects she collected in Essen, such as toys and radios, which she has wrapped in fabric to resemble dumplings.
Phung-Tien Phan's exhibition is showing at Misako & Rosen until mid-November.
