Mexican Ambassador to Vietnam Sara Valdes said the exhibition was a selection of color and black-and-white photos of people, heritage and landscapes of both long-gone and recent times. It honors both countries through art, sensitive coincidences and creative synergies.
“It’s all about the different visions, respective of Vietnamese artists when they visited Mexico and Mexican photographers looking at places and faces in Vietnam, so the concept is how we can have both worlds interconnected by the visions by both artists,” Mexican Deputy Head of Mission Adrian Garcia explained the theme of the exhibition.
Garcia also elaborated about the different perspectives from two different generations of Mexican photography. Eunice Chao visited Sapa, Mekong Delta and Hanoi in 1997, she captured the black and white snapshots of the time through the film camera, so her works are old and nostalgic.
While the works Juan Carlos Duran, a young Mexican who lives in Ho Chi Minh City, have more to do with today’s faces and places in the southern and the Mekong Delta.
The exhibition will run until October 25 at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology.
