Thuy Tien Nguyen is an artist based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and Hanoi, Vietnam. Nguyen's artistic practice revolves around the transformation of personal and collective memories, examining how they are distorted, translated, and reconstructed over time. Her recent works explore the concept of home and disciplines, often portraying fragmented and ambiguous impressions of domestic objects and how their relationships manifest within and beyond ordinary daily life. Whether through the use of objects, installations, photography, or situations, her practice often takes on the appearance of accidental occurrences or their remnants, leaving behind hints and a sense of disorientation in the spaces she engages with.
Nguyen earned a BA from the Hanoi Academy of Theater and Cinema in 2015 and studied with Haegue Yang at Städelschule from 2018 to 2024. Her recent exhibitions include "Upright Winter" at Alter Seilerei (Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2023), "Soft Proof" at Museum Angewandte Kunst (Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2024), "Good Old Neon" at Nova Contemporary (Bangkok, Thailand, 2024), "POWER HOUSE - energy rising" at Nova Space, Schiller Museum (Weimar, Germany, 2023), "A Mangrove Apple Tree" at documenta 15, Stadtmuseum (Kassel, Germany, 2023), and "Touch Release" at Wiesbaden Kunstverein (Wiesbaden, Germany, 2021).
