Exhibition “Fragments” by Hiraki Sawa
Vincom Center for Contemporary Arts (VCCA) proudly presents “Fragments”, an exhibition showcasing surreal art pieces by one of the top artists in Japan, Hikari Sawa. Through this exhibition, VCCA hopes to bring video art closer to the public.
“Fragments” – a leading video art exhibition in installation, equipment and exhibition space in Vietnam – includes 12 videos and 3 art prints carefully crafted by Hikari Sawa, building a system of an imaginary world.
The work is presented in fragments – small, scattered images so that it is not easy for the audience to grasp the full story in the beginning, but they are free to contemplate, to imagine and to connect the symbols, the hidden meanings in the artworks, and see for themselves their own stories.
In the framework of the exhibition, VCCA will hold two art discussions to help the public understand more about video art as well as Hiraki Sawa’s art practice. Other events like workshop, mini show will also be introducing to the audience.
Time: Saturday August 4 at 10:00 am
Venue: Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), B1 – R3, Vincom Mega Mall Royal City, 72A Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi

Okia Cinema: Detox Film Week – Choose to Return
This week, Okia Cinema presents two excellent movies about the journeys of people who chose to “come back”.
“Into the wild” (2007) by Sean Penn
“Into the wild” is based on a true story of McCandless, adapted from the book of the same name. It tells a story of a journey across the nations – a journey of finding one’s self – to find the way back to the roots deep within us… “Into the wild” at first is just an expression. But at the end, it became a revelation for the character and for us ourselves.
The adventure of McCandless is amazing and admirable, and even if we put aside living symbols or philosophical metaphors, the narrative of “Into the wild” is still wonderfully captivating. That was the reason why the movie was nominated for two Golden Globes and then won Best Original Song. It also had two Oscar nominations, with Hal Holbrook nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
“Captain Fantastic” (2016) by Matt Ross. A movie truly made for modern families.
If in “Into the wild”, the main character returns to nature to be alone, to escape from social ties of the modern world, in “Captain Fantastic”, a crowded family (who has been living separately from human community for decades), due to circumstances, has to returned to the noose that they chose to stay away from.
And so the journey of a father and his 6 children of all ages are dotted with troubles, drama, and surprises… and of course, oh so captivating! And with it the never-ending debate on how to raise our children: should we be in the arms of Mother Nature, or should we be protected and care for with love and artificial living conditions.
